WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 19th August, 2020) Former US Vice President Joe Biden officially won the Democratic Party's presidential nomination after a roll call vote at the party's national convention.
Biden secured 3,558 delegates after the roll call vote on Tuesday, which took place at a largely virtual convention due to the pandemic, nominally held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Candidates needed 1,991 delegates to win the presidential nominee for their party, a threshold Biden reached earlier on after Senator Bernie Sanders dropped out.
