Joe Biden may be returning to the White House — as president, this time. The former vice president and senator from Delaware, 76, officially clinched the Democratic presidential nomination on Friday, June 5 thanks to the seven recent primaries needed to win.
On April 15, he become the presumptive Democratic nominee for president after his remaining competitor, Senator Bernie Sanders, dropped out of the race on April 8. “Folks, tonight we secured the 1,991 delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination.
I’m going to spend every day fighting to earn your vote so that, together, we can win the battle for the soul of this nation,” Joe tweeted on June 5.
