President Barack Obama plans to meet with Sen. Bernie Sanders at the White House on Thursday, at Sanders' request.

The White House revealed the plans during a late-night statement that also said Obama had called to congratulate both Hillary Clinton and Sanders.

"The President congratulated both candidates for running inspiring campaigns that have energized Democrats, brought a new generation of Americans into the political process, and shined a spotlight on important policy ideas aimed at making sure our economy and our politics work for everybody, not just those with wealth and power," the statement said.

 "The President congratulated Secretary Clinton for securing the delegates necessary to clinch the Democratic Nomination for President. Her historic campaign inspired millions and is an extension of her lifelong fight for middle-class families and children," it added.

 The statement also said Obama and Sanders plan to talk about "significant issues at stake in this election."

"The President looks forward to continuing the conversation with Senator Sanders about how to build on the extraordinary work he has done to engage millions of Democratic voters, and to build on that enthusiasm in the weeks and months ahead," it said.
