Former Vice President Joe Biden has taken the stage at the final night of the Democratic National Convention to accept the party's nomination for president, promising to be "an ally of the light not the darkness". Without ever mentioning Donald Trump by name, Biden asserted that America's current leader has "failed in his most basic duty to the nation" and vowed that the first thing he would do in the office, is to get control of coronavirus.
