'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 [Biden's] candidacy, which I endorse.' Senator Bernie Sanders
In this March 15, 2020, file photo, former Vice President Joe Biden, left, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., right, greet one another before they participate in a Democratic presidential primary debate at CNN Studios in Washington.
The backing came less than a week after Sanders ended his presidential campaign, which was centred around progressive policies such as universal health care. Biden and Sanders differed throughout the primary, particularly over whether a government-run system should replace private health insurance. Biden has resisted Sanders' "Medicare for All" plan and has pushed instead a public option that would operate alongside private coverage.
"We’ve got to make Trump a one-term president," he added. "I will do all that I can to make that happen."But they made clear they would continue working together, announcing the formation of six "task forces" made up of representatives from both campaigns to work on policy agreements addressing issues including the economy, education, criminal justice and immigration.
