"It is with great honour and humility that I accept this nomination for President of the United States of America," Biden was quoted as saying by CNN.

Biden thanked former President Barack Obama for being a "great President" during his tenure. "You were a great President. A president our children could and did look up to. No one's going to say that about the current occupant of the White House," Biden said, reported CNN.
