Trump lashes out at MichelleObama after convention takedown
Mr Biden"will tell the truth, and trust science," she said in a jab at Mr Trump, who has been accused of ignoring the advice of scientists on how to respond to a health crisis which has left more than 171,000 Americans dead and millions without jobs.
After a night of hard-hitting attacks on Mr Trump from Mrs Obama, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and others, including several Republicans, the convention is to feature remarks on Tuesday by two former presidents - Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.Jill Biden, who has been married to the candidate since 1977 and has campaigned at length for him, is also scheduled to speak.
Mr Biden clinched that race in early June when he secured the majority 1,991 delegates needed to win the nomination. The convention is to culminate on Thursday when the 77-year-old Biden formally accepts the Democratic nomination and delivers his acceptance speech. Politics professor Larry Sabato at the University of Virginia gave the Democrats' virtual convention a thumbs-up after opening day.
"My Administration and I built the greatest economy in history, of any country, turned it off, saved millions of lives, and now am building an even greater economy than it was before," Mr Trump tweeted Tuesday.
