Mr Biden - who served as Vice-President under Barack Obama - beat more than two dozen candidates to win the Democratic nomination. The former Vice-President has already been exchanging heated words with President Trump ahead of the election. Mr Trump had claimed: "It's a great day for him, it's a great day for everybody. This is a great day in terms of equality." Recent polling suggests that the Democratic nominee currently holds a slight lead over Mr Trump.
