Democrats officially nominate Joe Biden as their Presidential candidate



WASHINGTON: Democrats in the United States officially nominated former Vice President Joe Biden as their candidate in the November presidential election.

Biden had been Democrat’s presumptive nominee after outlasting a crowded field of Democratic presidential hopefuls in state-by-state primary and caucus votes, including his closest rival, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, VOA reported.

Biden said that the nomination “means the world to me and my family, and I’ll see you on Thursday.”

Meanwhile, as Democrats gathered virtually, US President Donald Trump traveled to two key battleground states, Iowa and Arizona, and sought favor with women voters.
