Minnesota Governor Tim Walz formally accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, following a rally in Milwaukee. Walz, who was chosen as Kamala Harris' running mate, delivered a keynote speech that emphasized his Midwestern roots and background as a high school football coach. His address included a 'pep talk' to rally Democrats, using sports metaphors to convey optimism and determination in the upcoming election against Republican former President Donald Trump, which is 11 weeks away. The night, centered around the theme of freedom, also featured speeches from prominent figures such as former President Bill Clinton and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Walz's family, including his wife Gwen and children Gus and Hope, were present and emotional during the event.
