Former Vice President Joe Biden was officially nominated as the Democratic party’s presidential candidate Tuesday night after delegates from 57 states and territories convened virtually to vote.
Democratic speakers on the second night of the Democratic National Convention included former President Bill Clinton, former second lady Jill Biden and 2004 presidential nominee John Kerry. Multiple speakers touched on healthcare and criticized Trump before the roll-call vote started.
“At a time like this, the Oval Office should be a command center, instead it’s a storm center, there’s only chaos. Just one thing never changes: [Trump’s] determination to deny responsibility and shift the blame,” Clinton said.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said that the U.S. is divided and that Trump is “doing everything in his power to make it that way and keep us that way.” Referring to Biden, Powell said, “what a difference it will make to have a president who unites us, who restores our strength and our soul.”
