Folks -- tonight, in keeping with the latest guidance from the CDC, I am emailing you from home in Wilmington.

Look, right now is a moment where the choices and decisions we make as individuals, and collectively as a people, will make a big difference.

I know that we will answer this moment of crisis with what is best in ourselves -- because that is what Americans have always done. That’s who we are.

And today -- even as we are moving quickly to adapt our routines to meet this challenge -- Americans in three states went to the polls. And it looks like, once again our campaign has had a very good night -- and we’ve moved closer to securing the Democratic Party’s nomination for president.

Our goal as a campaign, and my goal as candidate for president, is to unify our party -- and to unify our nation.

And let me say especially to the young voters who have been inspired by Senator Sanders -- I hear you. I know what is at stake. And I know what we have to do.

We are the United States of America. There is not a single thing we cannot accomplish when we stand together. I firmly believe that we are going to win this election and restore the soul of this nation, but it begins with you -- our grassroots movement. Can you pitch in $5 to help us continue our momentum towards the nomination?

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

It is important for us to get through this crisis, protecting both the public health and our democracy.

This is a moment for each of us to see and believe the best in every one of us. To look out for our neighbor. To understand the fear and stress so many are feeling. To care for the elderly couple down the street.

To thank the health workers and the doctors and the nurses and the pharmacists and the grocery store cashiers and the people re-stocking the shelves.

We must believe in one another. That’s what my campaign is all about: unity.

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

So thanks for reading. I know we’re going to get through this difficult time together and prevail.

May God bless you all and keep your families healthy and safe. And may God protect our troops.

Joe Biden
