Joe Biden formally nominated as Democratic presidential candidate as DNC throws virtual nationwide convention

It is the honor of my life to accept the Democratic Party's nomination for President of the United States of America. #DemConvention

Here's the live stream of night 2 of the DNC.

Reuters reports from the virtual Democratic National Convention tonight:

The convention's second night, under the theme "Leadership Matters," aimed to make the case that Biden would represent a return to normalcy after the "chaos" of Republican President Donald Trump's administration, as Clinton put it.

"At a time like this, the Oval Office should be a command center," he said in a prerecorded video. "Instead, it's a storm center. There's only chaos. Just one thing never changes - his determination to deny responsibility and shift the blame."

Biden is nominated 32 years after first trying, which has to be a first in American history
