Biden is officially the Democratic presidential nominee
(Worthy News) -Following the tradition of both political parties, Biden was officially named the Democratic Party presidential candidate after a roll call of his roughly 2,690 delegates collected in the various primary contests throughout the winter and spring.
Winning the official nomination marks the end of a 30-plus-year-long quest for Biden, who first ran for president in the 1988 cycle and then again in 2008. Both campaigns ended shortly in disaster, dropping out the first time over plagiarism charges and winning zero delegates the second, both creating punchlines for late-night comics.
But Biden’s role as President Barack Obama’s vice president and subsequent decisive victories in the 2020 Democratic primaries have solidified him as the leader of the Democratic Party and one of its only hopes to unseat President Trump in November. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
