Both Sanders,74, and Clinton, 68, are seeking be the Democratic Party's presidential nominee for the 2016 elections.

The public apology by Sanders to Clinton is expected to bring an end to the bitter fight that had erupted between the two campaigns yesterday after the Democratic Party suspended his campaign access to its data following the security breach.
