Coming soon: A Clinton- Sanders peacemaking appearance in the first primary state?

(Associated Prese

Don’t book the flight or secure a hotel room just yet.

But don’t be surprised if Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders show up in New Hampshire next week for Sanders' long-awaited, much-delayed endorsement of the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Top aides to the two have been in constant touch and are nearing agreement on a joint appearance, according to insiders who asked not to be identified discussing the private talks.

The Vermont senator has won a number of concessions from Clinton as the party hammers out the platform Democrats will adopt at their national convention this month in Philadelphia.

A final draft is due to be completed at a two-day meeting of the platform committee starting Friday in Orlando; Sanders' forces are expected to press there for still more accommodations.

There have already been signs of the two candidates coming together.

On Wednesday, Sanders offered lavish praise after Clinton unveiled a plan to make college more affordable — one of his top priorities during their primary fight.

Sanders said he hoped more areas of accord would come "sooner rather than later."

Sanders has said he would vote for Clinton and do all he can to ensure that Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, does not win in November.

But he has stopped short of uttering the “e” word — endorse — and a high-profile, unequivocal embrace of Clinton could help heal some of the lingering hard feelings from their vigorously contested nominating fight.

Sanders buried Clinton in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary, lending added resonance to a joint appearance in the state, which is also one of November’s battlegrounds.
