U.S. Democratic Party has officially nominated former Vice President, Mr Joe Biden, as its candidate for the Nov. 3 presidential election.
Joe, whose nomination came on the second day of the party’s virtual National Convention on Tuesday night, will face incumbent President Donald Trump in the race for the White House.

The candidate immediately reacted to the development in a Twitter post in which he accepted the party’s decision.
“It is the honor of my life to accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for President of the United States of America,” he said.
“Thank you very very much. From the bottom of my heart.
“Thank you all. It means the world to me and my family, and I’ll see you all on Thursday,” Biden, a former vice president, said over video-link, upon the completion of counting of delegates.
Biden will make an acceptance speech on Thursday, the last day of the mostly-online Democratic National Convention.
As a formality, each state and U.S. territory cast votes for Biden and his Democratic rival, left-wing stalwart Senator Bernie Sanders, who himself had endorsed the former vice president in a lengthy speech the night before, indicating the party was united facing Trump, a Republican.
