18:55Now PlayingMinnesota Gov. Tim Walz formally accepted the vice presidential nomination, a day before Vice President Kamala Harris takes the stage as the official nominee.
On the third night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Walz spent time telling the audience more about his personal story, including the difficulties he and his wife Gwen faced when starting a family.
Walz presented himself as an advocate for personal freedoms, distilling his view to: “Mind your own damn business.”
Leaning into his coaching days, Walz then made a case for why Democrats “got something better to offer the American people.”
“I haven’t given a lot of big speeches like this, but I have given a lot of pep talks,” Walz said. “Let me finish with this, team: It’s the fourth quarter. We’re down a field goal, but we’re on offense and we got the ball. We’re driving down the field. And boy do we have the right team! Kamala Harris is tough!”
“Our job, for everyone watching, is to get in the trenches and do the blocking and tackling,” he added.
