Lee Seung-jae reports.
The match up for the November 3rd presidential election is set.
It's the incumbent President Donald Trump versus former vice president Joe Biden.
On the second day of the 4-day Democratic National Convention on Tuesday,... Biden was officially voted in as the party's nominee in the upcoming elections.
Following a virtual roll call vote in all 57 U.S. states and territories,... Biden received 3-thousand-558 delegate votes,... compared to 1-thousand-151 for Senator Bernie Sanders.
Following the results,... Biden thanked everyone for the opportunity.
"Thank you very, very much from the bottom of my heart, thank you all. It means the world to me and my family and I will see you on Thursday. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
While Biden's running mate Kamala Harris will close out the third night of the Democratic National Convention with her official nomination and speech,... the focus will be on Biden's acceptance speech on Thursday to close out the event.
With President Trump closing in on Biden in the latest CNN poll,... watchers will see whether Biden's speech on Thursday will give him the bump he needs.
Despite leading President Trump in polls,... support for Biden has been lukewarm,.. with two-thirds of potential voters saying their main goal is not electing Biden but ousting Trump.
