Joe Biden is confident that he could win in the upcoming elections after he swept Arizona, Florida, and Illinois in the primaries.

On Tuesday night, Biden held a live stream from his home, and he offered a message designed to bring the Democratic primary to its end. He said that he and the Democratic candidates should focus on taking down Donald Trump instead of each other.

More specifically, the POTUS acknowledged the fact that he and Sanders may disagree on tactics, but their goals remain the same. They have a common mission on issues such as health care, income equality, and climate change.

“Sen. Sanders and his supporters have brought a remarkable passion and tenacity to all of these issues, and together they have shifted the fundamental conversation in this country. So, let me say especially to the young voters who have been inspired by Sen. Sanders: I hear you. I know what's at stake. I know what we have to do. Our goal as a campaign and my goal as a candidate for president are to unify this party, and then to unify the nation,” he said.

According to CNN, Biden and Sanders’ campaigns are reportedly in contact with each other to discuss the coronavirus pandemic.

“Since last week, the Biden and Sanders campaigns have been in regular contact at a senior level to discuss how the coronavirus is affecting the campaigns, how to adjust schedules and activities in light of that -- as well as to discuss both Vice President Biden's and Senator Sanders' ideas on policy responses to the virus,” Biden’s deputy manager Kate Bedingfield told CNN.

The deputy manager went on to say that even though Biden and Sanders’ campaigns have their differences, they are still working together to promote the health, safety, and security of their respective teams, those who interact with the campaigns, and the American people.
