(CNN)Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson is urging Bernie Sanders, amid escalating tensions within the Democratic Party, to keep his eye on the ball: Defeating Donald Trump in November.

Jackson told CNN Thursday morning that he has been in touch with advisers to both Sanders and Hillary Clinton in recent days to emphasize the importance of party unity as Democrats prepare for a likely general election fight against Trump.
Sanders "must support the winner, Hillary, over Donald Trump. That's his very public position and I hope he will hold that position," Jackson said, adding that the Democratic primary should be viewed as the "intra-league competition" that precedes the battle for the White House in November.
The Clinton campaign declined to comment and the Sanders campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
