President Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders are meeting in the Oval Office.

Obama greeted Sanders as he arrived at the White House and the two walked past the sun-bathed Rose Garden — and a pack of snapping cameras — to their private meeting.

The President and Sanders could be seen chatting warmly and laughing as they strolled along the colonnade. Obama was expected to talk about ways Sanders can keep up the fight for his policy agenda, but not his bid for the presidency.

All the scrutiny around the meeting with the president didn't appear to faze the Vermont senator. Ever the everyman, Sanders stopped for coffee and a scone at a Peet's coffee shop across from the White House before arriving.
