Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been in contact with rival Bernie Sanders in an attempt to unify their party.
Mrs Clinton's victories in the primaries have put her well ahead of Mr Sanders as she tries to secure the Democratic party nomination.
But Mr Sanders, despite being nearly 800 delegates behind, is refusing to give up, threatening to drive a wedge between the two camps.
Only seven primaries and caucuses remain to vote, with more than 800 delegates up for grabs, but Mrs Clinton only needs another 71 to win.
Six states, including California, are due to hold primaries on 7 June, on a day that is expected to confirm Ms Clinton as presumptive candidate.
When asked if he would drop out to become Mrs Clinton's running mate, the Vermont senator said his only focus was to secure the Democratic nomination.
His campaign has been buoyed recently by continuing allegations in the on-going email scandal.
A report released last week by the State Department's inspector general said the former First Lady did not comply with email policies when she used a private email server while Secretary of State.
In an interview on CNN, Mrs Clinton said she expects to continue reaching out to Mr Sanders and will do so more frequently after next week's primaries.
"I will certainly do everything I can to unify the Democratic Party," she said. "Our campaigns have been reaching out to one another. We will continue to do that."
She said both she and Mr Sanders were "going to do everything we can" to stop Republican candidate Donald Trump from winning the presidential election on 8 November.
