Is holding its National Convention to name joe biden formally as the partys candidate for president but the coronavirus pandemic still raging this years event is being held virtually sent to bunny sondos and Michelle Obama will headline the 1st night speeches alan fischer reports on how the former Vice President came to clinch the nomination. Back before covered just as the primary process got under way if you would have banked on joe biden winning the democratic president ial nomination the idea he would be in a position to unveil a Vice President ial pick as he did last week would almost have been laughable he lost heavily in iowa had little better in the next 2 contests but was saved by a win in South Carolina a diverse electorate the best way to go the press in the final as it declared this candidacy yes that was a key moment when the Democratic Party saw him rather than Bernie Sanders as the man to beat donald trump when im sure his convey was that theres no way that youre going to be able to get most of america to support barry and as we saw that happen in the primaries the people that support freddie and war is just they do not show up at the polls before super tuesday was several states hold nominating contests key rivals dropped out in the club a short step to citing gave their support he won several states enough to make victory look inevitable and so closest rivals Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders dropped out to joe biden had all but secured the president ial nomination i think joe biden won with experience also because they coalesced around joe biden because they realize donald trump didnt want to face Joe Biden Joe biden has already spent 8 years in the white house as Barack ObamasVice President hes been around politics for almost half a century but hes never had to Campaign Like this is a pandemic changes the face of president ial politics there are no big rallies no crisscrossing the country to speak with supporters its no virtually all virtual got only Democratic Senate small gatherings lisi help joe biden to excel on the crisis has allowed him to highlight the president s actions something one expert believes helps the challenger. He doesnt have to travel to 50 cities and travel to 4 and 5 cities and in one day hes able to kind of you know lay back and rest as a 77 year old man so i think it does help so and in addition you know all the mistakes that you know that our President Trump is making you know that of cost you know close 2165000 lives i think and counting i think that you know that helps joe biden 3 decades after his 1st president ial bid joe biden has arrived where he wants to be hes finally convinced his party hes the man for the job no he has 11 weeks to convince the country alan fischer aljazeera washington is going to our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett committee the democrats looking ahead to an Unconventional Convention how is president trying positioning himself. U. S. President will all week be breaking with tradition and campaigning typically president or at least the other party would lay low well one convention is being held not the case with us President Donald Trump is already left the white house is on the road hes heading battleground states like wisconsin as well as potentially iowa and what the message is that the u. S. President s trying to send is that he is the contrast to joe biden and he has some work cut out for him given the fact that he is trailing in the polls but in the midst of all of this the u. S. President is also trying to deflect accusations that he is attempting to suppress the vote that his appointee that heads up the u. S. Postal service the postmaster general in the midst of all of this election campaigning has decided to streamline the post office now now why is this a problem how is this related to the election well lot of americans are planning to mail in vote due to covert 19 many dont feel comfortable casting a ballot in person they want to socially distance from the comfort of their home that prompted the Postal Service to say as a result of their streamlining they cant handle the volume of mail in votes speaking from the white house the u. S. President defended the streamlining saying hes not trying to slow things down not at all he says that it would. Have everybody. But i also want to have a vote.
