On the 18th (local time), former President Clinton said, "Trump says we are leading the world, but the U.S. is the only major industrial country where the unemployment rate has tripled," adding, "At times like this, the White House office should be a command center, but it has become the eye of the storm."

Former President Clinton pointed out, "(President Trump) initially said the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) would be well controlled and disappear," and "When that was not the case, he appeared on TV every day boasting about what he had done as if it were a great achievement." He continued, "Only when the virus spread surged in some states did President Trump tell people to wear masks. Many had already died."

Former President Clinton praised, "If President Trump serves another four years, he will only blame others, bully, and belittle, but if Biden becomes president, he will build back better and create a better world."

Former President Carter urged support, saying, "Biden is the person we desperately need at this historic moment." He said, "Candidate Biden has been my faithful friend for decades," and "Candidate Biden has the experience, character, and dignity to unite America and restore its greatness."

Additionally, at the convention that day, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, representing the progressive bloc of the Democratic Party, and Caroline Kennedy, daughter of former President John F. Kennedy and former U.S. Ambassador to Japan, also spoke as endorsers.
