Details: Biden spoke to over 650 guests, including Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, and TikTok CEO Zi Chew.

"One candidate is too old and mentally unfit to be president. The other one is me," Biden said.

Biden emphasised the press's vital role, saying it is not the "enemy of the people", a sharp contrast to Trump's previous remarks about the media.

He also mentioned Russia's war against Ukraine: "We will not bow down, they (Ukrainians) will not bow down and I will not bow down," the US president stressed.

Background:

• Earlier, Biden and Trump won enough delegates to secure the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations, respectively.
• The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll showed a slight advantage for Biden over Trump.
