Joe Biden is it

NO MENTION OF HUNTER BIDEN
MIA


The Democrats officially nominated Joe Biden for president in a virtual roll call vote, with delegates announcing their votes from their home states in locations ranging from a beach in American Samoa to a fire station in Connecticut to the new Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C.
Former second lady Jill Biden delivered her speech from the Delaware high
school where she used to teach. She spoke about the loss and tragedy her family — and the nation — has faced, but she highlighted how hard times can lead to resilience.
"How do you make a broken family whole?" she said. "The same way you
make a nation whole. With love and understanding—and with small acts of kindness. With bravery. With unwavering faith."
Jill Biden said we need "leadership worthy of our nation … that's Joe. He and Kamala will work as hard as you do, every day, to make this nation better." 
Sounding a theme of unity, Cindy McCain narrated a video celebrating the "unlikely friendship" between Joe Biden and her husband, the late Senator John McCain. Her message of support came on the heels of an endorsement by former Secretary of State Colin Powell. On Monday night, four prominent Republicans, including former Ohio Governor John Kasich, also vouched for Biden. 
In his remarks, Mr. Clinton excoriated President Trump, saying of the Trump administration that "there is only chaos." 
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez nominated Bernie Sanders, who remained on the ballot in order to wield some influence over the party platform. Ocasio-Cortez, who was the highest-profile progressive to endorse Sanders' candidacy, praised the progressive movement Sanders led during his two presidential bids and offered a summation of the role he has played in Democratic presidential politics. Democrats returned Tuesday for the second night of their virtual convention, with speeches by Jill Biden, former President Bill Clinton and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
