Ex-Veep Formally Wins Nomination To Run For Prez On 3^rd Shot; Clinton Calls Trump White House A ‘Chaos’

Washington: Democrat veteran Joe Biden formally secured the party’s nomination for President on Tuesday after an online virtual roll call vote from 57 States and Terrorities across the country.

Standing in a school library with his wife, grandchildren and few balloons, 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”, Biden (77) said after winning the nomination on his third shot. Biden following failed attempts in 1998 and 2008, he will make a formal acceptance speech on Thursday. In a speech from an empty classroom, his wife Jill made an eloquent case for her husband’s White House bid excoriating the Trump dispensation using the school crisis caused by the pandemic as backdrop.

“You can hear the anxiety that echoes down empty hailways”, she said from a school where she once taught English. She pledged the schools “Will ring out with laughter and possibility” if her husband is elected.

Two former Presidents Jimmy Carter (92), and Bill Clinton (72) also endorsed Biden in brief speeches as did a slate of anti- Trump Republicans (notably Colin Powell and Cindy McCain, widow of late GOP Senator John McCain, who was Biden’s across aisle friend in the Senate) and former administration officials and diplomats who fell out with Trump dispensation. At a time like this (Covid- 19) the oval office should be a command centre.

Instead, it’s a storm centre. There’s only chaos. Our party is united in offering you a very different choice: a go-to-work President. A down to earth, get the job done guy, Clinton who has addressed 11 Democratic conventions, said in his shortest ever speech, a five minute endorsement.
