Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) formally endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden during a virtual event today. The event, which was billed as an online coronavirus event, comes less than a week after Sanders dropped out of the race.
Sanders's endorsement marks an attempt to unify the Democratic Party, which has been fractured between its progressive and moderate wings since the 2016 presidential race.
Sanders and his supporters, who regarded the senator's presidential campaign as a movement, have been skeptical of the party establishment, pointing to the reluctance of Democratic leaders to support progressive measures like "Medicare for All."
The party's establishment wing, including Biden, have pushed for preserving and building upon the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare.
And while these divisions are still present in the party, Sanders's message on Monday demonstrates the universal priority among Democrats to defeat President Trump in November.
"We need you in the White House. I will do all that I can to see that that happens, Joe," Sanders said. "Today, I am asking all Americans -- I'm asking every Democrat, I'm asking every independent, I'm asking a lot of Republicans -- to come together in this campaign to support your candidacy, which I endorse."

Still no endorsement from the Kenyanesian Usurper.
Looking mighty odd.
Bernie must have gotten a couple of new ocean front mansions for that endorsement.
What does it tell you about someone who pushes a person with clear and worsening dementia symptoms to become President, the most mentally challenging job in the world.
Barnie folds like a Chinese shirt from Wuhan.
Let’s not be surprised when Biden reciprocates the favor for Bernie.
This means that the DNC is unlikely to push Biden out. Otherwise, Bernie’s deal with the DNC would have left his endorsement open until the DNC made up its mind.
So, is the new house in Bermuda or the Bahamas?
The check must have cleared.
Bernie probably got told the Convention was going to be “virtual”.
Since he can’t burn it down, there’s no point, anymore.
Oh the pain. The pain.
Sanders surely is checking out his new mansion on some scenic lakeshore.
Red square
Yep
“Tahm to git payed!”
