“It’s the honor of my life to accept your nomination,” Gov. Tim Walz told the Democratic National Convention as the vice presidential nominee introduced himself to voters on the biggest stage of his career and outlined how Kamala Harris would lead the country if elected in November.
Minnesota governor and former high school football coach Tim Walz used a string of football analogies to describe how he hopes Democrats will win the White House in November.
“You might not know it, but I have not given a lot of big speeches like this,” Walz said to close out the third night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. “But I have given a lot of pep talks.
“So, let me finish with this,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee added. “Team, it is the fourth quarter, we are down a field goal, but we are on offense and we’ve got the ball.”
Tim Walz, laid out what Americans could expect from her presidency in his speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.
“This is the part — clip and save it and send it to your undecided relatives so they know,” Walz said before listing off some of Harris’ promises.
The vice presidential nominee said that Harris would cut taxes for the middle class and “take on big pharma.”
“If you’re are a middle-class family or a family trying to into middle class, Kamala Harris is going to cut your taxes,” he said.
He also said she would help make buying a home more affordable.
Harris unveiled her housing plan last week, which included proposals such as providing up to a $25,000 down payment to first-time homebuyers, tax incentives for builders that build starter homes sold to first-time buyers, and incentives to build affordable rental housing.
“No matter who you are, Kamala Harris is going to stand up and fight for your freedom to live the life that you want to lead. Because that is what we want for ourselves and it is what we want for our neighbors,”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz shouted his family out in his keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.
Walz repeated a familiar story about his family’s struggles with infertility and how those struggles inspired him and his wife to name their daughter “Hope.”
Walz’s entire family was shown crying as Walz spoke about this.
Hope Walz, wearing brat-green fingernail polish, formed her hands into the shape of a heart and appeared to mouth: “I love you.”
“Hope, Gus, Gwen — you are my entire world, and I love you,” Walz said
