Biden hits delegate target to cement Democratic nomination after gaffe-prone campaign as protests overshadow election

Former Vice President Joe Biden has become the Democratic presidential nominee for 2020, scoring enough delegates to secure the nomination despite a string of embarrassing gaffes and major distractions from the race.

Though a number of contests remain in this year’s primary season, Biden reached the threshold for his party’s nomination on Friday night, winning support from 1,993 delegates, according to the Associated Press.“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,” he said in a statement.
