As US elections have 75-days left statements and claims are making way from opponents. Joe Biden has now said US Donald Trump has “cloaked America in darkness for much too long”.
The former US vice-president said his rival has unleashed “too much anger, too much fear, too much division”. Biden’s impassioned speech was the capstone of a political career spanning nearly half a century. He heads into the general election campaign with a clear lead in opinion polls over Trump.
Speaking from a mostly empty event centre in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, Biden, 77, said “Here and now, I give you my word, if you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I will be an ally of the light, not the darkness.
“It’s time for us, for we the people, to come together and make no mistake, united we can and will overcome this season of darkness in America.
“We can choose a path of becoming angrier, less hopeful, more divided, a path of shadow and suspicion,” he said.

“Or, or, we can choose a different path and together take this chance to heal, to reform, to unite. A path of hope and light. “This is a life-changing election. This will determine what America going to look like for a long, long time.”
He continued, “A president who takes no responsibility, refuses to lead, blames others, cosies up to dictators and fan the flames of hate and division. He will wake up every day believing the job is all about him, never about you. Is that the America you want for you, your family and your children?”
Speakers at the convention over the past three nights have depicted Trump as incompetent, selfish and a danger to democracy, imploring Americans to vote him out of office – a tone which Mr Biden heavily echoed.
