Joe Biden has been officially anointed the Democratic presidential candidate at the party's convention, helped over the line with some glowing testimonials from elder statesmen.

Two Democratic former US presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a Republican, endorsed Mr Biden.
Mr Clinton said President Donald Trump had brought "chaos" to the Oval Office.

Mr Biden whose campaign appeared to be in danger of collapse back in February became his party's nominee on Tuesday night as a pre-recorded roll call vote from delegates in all 50 states aired at the largely virtual convention.

This year's convention, originally planned for Milwaukee, Wisconsin has been conducted remotely, with live and pre-recorded segment, due to health concerns from the pandemic.

This is Mr Biden's third White House bid, having formerly run in 1988 and 2008.

The Democratic convention will continue on Wednesday and Thursday, with speeches from vice-presidential pick Senator Kamala Harris, the party's 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton and former President Obama. The four nights will end with an acceptance speech from Mr Biden.

Joe Biden 77 who was vice-president to President Obama will be the challenger to President Donald Trump who is seeking a second term. The US presidential election will be taking place on 3 November 2020.
