"As soon as this Democratic primary process is over, we're not going to hear any more talk about the minimum wage, we're not going to hear any more talk about making college affordable or providing healthcare to everybody," Weaver continued.

"As long as there's a Democratic primary process going on, people are talking about issues that are important not only to Democrats but to Americans as a whole," he said. Sanders himself has argued that he'll fight until the Democratic National Convention in late July.

Clinton has begun focusing on Trump during her stump speeches, blasting the freewheeling businessman as a "loose cannon" on foreign policy and mocking his lack of specifics on domestic issues such as creating jobs.
