Former vice president Joe Biden is officially announced the Democratic presidential nominee to run for the White House against President Donald Trump in the elections in November.
Biden, 77, on Friday night, took his tally of pledged delegates over the halfway mark of 1,991 from a total of 3,979, thus becoming eligible to earn the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.
