June 6 , 2020 - After a lifetime in politics and a third bid for the White House , Joe Biden has secured enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination for president. During a primary season that has seen many states primaries postponed and rescheduled due to Covid 19 , Biden secured the nomination after the Democratic primary in Guam gave him the final few delegates he needed to cross the 1,991 required delegate threshold. 

Following his victory Biden said "It was an honor to compete alongside one of the most talented groups of candidates the Democratic party has ever fielded , and I am proud to say that we are going into this general election a united party. I am going to spend every day between now and November 3rd fighting to earn the votes of Americans all across this country so that , together , we can win the battle for the  soul of this nation ,  and make sure that as we rebuild our economy , everyone comes along."

Biden will formally accept the presidential nomination  in  Milwaukee , Wisconsin at the Democratic National Convention which begins on Monday August 17 ,2020.
