Photo: ReutersFormer US presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter say Joe Biden has the experience and integrity to restore a pandemic-devastated America, as Democrats formally nominated Biden for president at their national convention. "From the moment President Trump took office, he's used his position to benefit himself, rather than our country," she said. Trump clashed with McCain, who was the Republican nominee for president in 2008, and the president criticised McCain even after his 2018 death. The Republican National Convention, also largely virtual, takes place next week. Trump will give his acceptance speech at the White House, despite criticism he is politicising the presidential residence.
