Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz gestures at a campaign rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US, August 20, 2024.Vice presidential candidate Tim Walz led fellow Democrats in a political pep rally on Wednesday night, vowing that he and presidential running mate“We’re all here tonight for one beautiful simple reason: We love this country,” the Minnesota governor said to cheers from assembled Democrats on the third night of the Democratic National Convention.

The Minnesota governor, who was little known in America 15 days ago, acknowledged he had never given such a big speech but said that as a former high school football coach, “I have given a lot of pep talks.” The crowd responded with chants of “Coach, Coach, Coach!” Walz brought his plain-speaking style and small-town values to the national stage, joined by a litany of political luminaries and star entertainers on the third night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

He said America should be a place where children don’t go hungry, healthcare and housing are human rights, “and the government stays the hell out of your bedroom,” referring to Republican assaults on abortion rights and same-sex marriage. He spoke of preserving the freedoms that Democrats say are under attack from Trump, 78, who is making his third major-party run for the White House.In the audience beside his mother and sister, Walz’s son Gus, 17, leapt to his feet during his father’s remarks, pointing at the stage while appearing to shout, “That’s my Dad,” and shedding tears.
