Summary

Follow NBC News WASHINGTON — Joe Biden officially became the Democratic Party's presidential nominee Tuesday night after a roll call of the state delegations and speeches by former President Bill Clinton and others at the second night of the all-virtual Democratic National Convention.Biden will accept the nomination with a speech Thursday in Wilmington, Delaware, but the formal party business of his nomination was taken care of Tuesday as representatives of all 57 states and territories sounded off to announce their votes in short videos, often in front of iconic backdrops.He appeared briefly after the roll call with his wife and grandchildren, who threw streamers behind him. It probably wasn't how Biden, who has been in the politics for five decades and planned presidential runs in almost every one of them, imagined accepting his party's nomination.Meanwhile, Clinton ripped President Donald Trump's handling of the job he once held.Clinton said "COVID hit us much harder than it had to" because Trump ignored the advice of experts and spends all day "zapping people on social media" instead of trying to help them."At a time like this, the Oval Office should be a command center. "We live in the richest country in history and yet we do not guarantee this most basic human right."Former Secretary of State John Kerry stood in front of American flags to speak to foreign policy, warning Trump "doesn't know how to defend our troops" and that "he breaks up with our allies and writes love letters to dictators.""America deserves a president who is looked up to, not laughed at," Kerry said.A montage then showed former national security leaders warning Trump has made America weaker overseas and that his deference to Russian President Vladamir Putin is "un-American."Another high-profile Republican, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, then appeared to endorse Biden."Joe Biden will be a president we will all be proud to salute," Powell said.
