On the 18th (local time), Jill Biden, wife of candidate Biden, appeared as the closing speaker at the Democratic National Convention. She emphasized that American society can come together again by referring to how Biden rebuilt his family after losing his first wife and child in a car accident. She connected the emptiness felt in American society due to the COVID-19 pandemic with Biden's personal story.

Former Vice President Biden lost his wife and daughter in a car accident in 1972. He remarried Jill Biden in 1977.

Jill Biden said, "How can a divided family be united? A nation can be united in the same way," adding, "(The answer is) love, understanding, compassion, courage, and unwavering faith."

She then mentioned the loss of Biden's son while he was serving as vice president in 2015. She said, "We learned that only love can bind our family together," and "Love made us more flexible and resilient." She continued, "We became one, greater than ourselves," and said, "Love may not protect us from the sorrows of life, but a home provides a sanctuary."

Jill Biden said, "Because the burden we carry is heavy, we need someone with strong shoulders to bear it," and added, "If you entrust the country to candidate Biden, he will work for your family just as he has worked for ours. He will unite us as one."
