Joe Biden has been formally nominated as the Democratic party's candidate for US president.
He'll go up against Donald Trump in November's election.
The announcement was made at the virtual Democratic Convention last night.
A number of prominent political figures endorsed Joe Biden as the Democratic choice, including Bill Clinton and Colin Powell, while his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, said her husband would unite the country.
It is the honor of my life to accept the Democratic Party's nomination for President of the United States of America. #DemConvention

Last night, folks from across the country came together to show how much stronger we are when we stand united. Looking forward to tonight where we'll talk about why leadership matters, and hear from my favorite #DemConvention speaker, @DrBiden. https://t.co/7nunEqhK9C
