last week at the honor of speaking to all of you from Philadelphia, the birthplace of the foundational documents of our democracy tonight and keep it with the latest guidance from the CDC to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people.

I'm speaking to you from my home in Wilmington, Delaware.

I hope all of your staying safe talking and taking the recommendation, the recommended precautions and talking to the doctor if you have one to keep your social distance to slow the spread of this virus, this pandemic has impacted every aspect of our lives and every aspect of his campaign.

Most of all, my heart goes out to all of those You have lost a loved one to those who have contracted the virus, all the brave Americans who are working harder than ever to help their neighbors and all those Children are home from school that are worried and don't know quite why.

T s and public health officials, as well as the front line emergency workers like firefighters and dedicated folks working to keep the shelves stocked in the grocery stores.

You know, tackling this pandemic is a national emergency akin to fighting a war.

It's gonna require leadership on cooperation from every level of government and to require us to move thoughtfully and decisively to quickly address both the public health crisis as well as the economic crisis, require us to pay attention to the medical and scientific and health experts.

That's to require each of us to do our part.

Yes, this is a moment where we need our leaders to lead.

But it's also moment worthy choices and decisions we make.

His individuals are going to collectively impact on.

What happens make a big difference in the severity of this outbreak and the ability of our medical hospital systems to handle it.

You know, I know we as a people are up to this challenge we always have been.

I know that will answer this moment of crisis with the best that we find in all of us, because that's what Americans always don't have done and what we do.

That's who we are ordinary people doing extraordinary things when the need arises.

And today we're moving quickly to adapt our routines.

To meet this challenge, Americans and three states went to the polls today.

I want to thank all the public officials and the poll workers who worked closely with the public health authorities to sure safe opportunities for voting to clean and disinfect voting booth and make sure the voters could cast their ballots while maintaining the distance from one another.

You know, it's important for us to get through this crisis, protecting both the public health and our democracy.

Today, it looks like once again and Florida and Illinois, we're still waiting to hear from Arizona.

We moved closer to securing the Democratic Party's nomination for president, and we're doing it by building a broad coalition that we need to win in November with strong support from the African American community, the Latino community, high school legend, people educated people like the folks I grew up with, my old neighborhood labor teachers, suburban women, veterans, firefighters and so many more.

Senator Sanders and I may disagree on tactics, but we share a common vision for the need to provide affordable health care for all Americans, reducing coming equity that has risen so drastically tackling the excess central threat of our time.

Senator Sanders and his supporters have brought a remarkable passion and tenacity toe all of these issues.

Together, they have shifted the fundamental conversation in this country.

So let me say especially to the young voters who have been inspired by Senator Sanders.

Our goal is a campaign, and my goal is a candidate for president is to unify this party and then to unify the nation.

We realize we need to put politics aside and work together as Americans.

The Corona virus doesn't care if you're a Democrat or Republican.

It will not discriminate based on national origin, race, gender or your ZIP code.

It will touch people in positions of power as well as most vulnerable people in our society.

This is a moment for each of us to see and believe the best in everyone of us to look out for our neighbors.

I understand the fear and stress and so many you're feeling to care for the elderly, the elderly couple down the street, to thank the health care worker, the doctors, the nurses, the pharmacists, their grocery store cashier and the people restocking the shelves toe believe in one another.

Because I assure you, when we do that, when we see the best in each of us, we lift this nation up and we'll get through this together.

And my special prayer for those of you in the front lines of the crisis doctors, nurses, health care workers caring for the virus, victims and their families.

My hopes are high because I believe in times of crisis Americans have always stepped up.

We have to step up and care for one another.
