Democrats officially chose former Vice President Joe Biden to be their presidential nominee on Tuesday night, setting up a November contest with President Trump.
Biden offered a few brief remarks when he was joined by his wife Jill and several of their grandchildren to celebrate with just a handful of balloons.
The 77-year-old said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you," before accepting the nomination.

Earlier in the night, Senator Chris Coons of Delaware and Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester, also from Biden's home state, gave speeches on the former vice president's behalf.
