Biden is no longer concerned about Sanders. He said he's done debating Sanders. |
"My focus is just dealing with the crisis right now. I haven't though about any more debates. I think we've had enough debates. I think we should get on with this."
The remarks came a day after Sanders reiterated its intentions to continue on despite being eliminated from wining the necessary delegates to become the nominee.

We shouldn’t be giving Bernie Sanders any more air time. He’s done.
Need to focus on defeating Trump and saving our country from #COVID19#DropOutBernie and stop spreading lies about Joepic.twitter.com/nVifb1XADA
Biden and Sanders are the only two candidates remaining in the Democratic primaries.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) originally scheduled 12 debates and 11 have taken place so far. The DNC has not responded to a request for comment about whether the debate should go on.
The coronavirus has taken Biden and Sanders off the campaign trail. The last round of primaries were in Florida, Illinois and Arizona. These states and the final count in Washington went to Biden.
It took the steam out of Sanders. The Vermont senator vows to continue on.
Sanders has held virtual roundtables with allies to discuss ways to address the coronavirus.
Should Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders hold another debate in primetime?
Sanders wants restrictions on which corporations gets a portion of the bailout.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) want restrictions on those laid off. They seriously believe that folks who were laid off would rather allow the federal government pay them for the rest of their lives. Obviously this is not a done deal yet.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have came to an agreement. Under this stimulus, the Republicans lose the opportunity to give bailouts to corporations, it extends the unemployment insurance for up to four months, makes sure medical officials get proper equipment, keeps lawmakers and Trump from benefiting from it and could jumpstart the economy.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the House are working on getting their $2.5 trillion bill through and once they merge the bills together and its passed, Trump will sign it into law.
Biden is not an elected member of the Senate or the president. He cannot do much right now but do as much as he can on the sidelines. If he does anything, I almost expect Trump and Sanders' allies to amplify it into a negative attack.
I said it many times. I am not getting tired of it. Sanders and his supporters are insufferable.
Democrats are getting tired of the Bernie Bros and the bullshit from many of his allies in the media.
