US Democrats nominated Joe Biden as their 2020 presidential candidate on Tuesday for the November election, making his challenge to incumbent President Donald Trump official. “It is the honor of my life to accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for President of the United States of America,” Biden said on Twitter.The Democrats have made the case that Biden has the experience and energy to repair chaos that Trump has created at home and abroad.In an unprecedented roll call vote that took place entirely online due to the Coronavirus pandemic, all 50 states and seven territories announced their vote tallies that cemented Biden’s role as the party flag-bearer on Tuesday.
The nomination was a formality as he had already won the majority of the more than 3,900 delegates back in June.Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State John Kerry - and former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell - were among the heavy hitters on a schedule that emphasised a simple theme: Leadership matters. Former President Jimmy Carter, now 95 years old, also made an appearance.
