Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz officially accepted the vice presidential nomination during the third day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, introducing himself to a national audience with an impassioned speech that emphasized his Midwestern roots – CBS News
In his speech, Walz used a relaxed and candid tone as he spoke about his experiences as a public school teacher and his accomplishments as governor of Minnesota. He emphasized the progressive initiatives he introduced, such as paid family leave and reproductive rights, and, referring to his experience as an American football coach, urged Democrats to work hard to win the election.
“We’re in the fourth quarter. We are down by one point, but we are attacking. We are moving forward and we have a great team,” – said Walls. “There are 76 days left. It’s not that long. We’ll sleep later. We’re going to give it our all to keep moving forward and put Donald Trump in the past.”
He concluded his speech with a call to action, emphasizing the importance of all Democrats actively participating in the campaign.
“We need to come together and work together – step by step, call by call, donation by donation,” Walls emphasized.
The third night of the convention was an important event for the Democrats, who are preparing for a decisive fight in the November elections.
