Bernie Sanders will make an appearance Sunday afternoon following a confab with a few dozen close advisers and supporters from around the country.

Sanders told the Burlington Free Press he would make an appearance outside his home after the meeting.

The Democratic presidential hopeful, who failed to make meaningful gains in Tuesday's primaries against front-runner Hillary Clinton, is expected to appear outside his Burlington home around 5 p.m., according to campaign spokesman Michael Briggs.

Speaking on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, Sanders said is focused on defeating GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump and ensuring that Democrats become a grassroots party that helps working people.

He said he will meet Tuesday evening with Clinton to discuss the Democratic Party platform and, "if she wins," what kind of an administration she'll have.

He said he doesn't think Clinton can lead a "political revolution," but she's smart and understands good policy. People want to see what kind of a commitment she has to transforming the party, he said.

Sanders said it's "very unlikely" that Clinton would choose him as her running mate, "but we will see what happens after this whole campaign winds down."

He said he wants to see Clinton appoint a progressive and become a champion of the needs of working families. Asked about progressive icon Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, Sanders said he's a "great admirer" and that Warren has been a "dynamite senator."
