Tim Walz's children have emotional reaction to DNC speech #shorts

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accepted his party's nomination for vice president Wednesday night, using his Democratic National Convention address to thank the packed arena for “bringing the joy” to an election transformed by the elevation of his running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris.

“We’re all here tonight for one beautiful, simple, reason: We love this country,” Walz said as thousands of delegates hoisted vertical placards reading “Coach Walz” in red, white and blue.

Walz described his upbringing in Nebraska and teaching and coaching football in Minneosta and told the crowd, “Thank you for bringing the joy to this fight.”

“While other states were banning books from their schools, we were banishing hunger from ours,” he said. In a dig at his Republican counterpart, JD Vance, he added, “I had 24 kids in my high school class, and none of them went to Yale.”

When Walz talked about the difficulty conceiving his daughter, Hope, she made a heart with her hands and held it over her chest. His son, Gus, wept watching his dad speak and at least once shouted, “That's my dad!”

“I haven't given a lot of speeches like this but I've given a lot of pep talks,” Walz said. #news #politics #dnc #dnc2024 #shorts #uspolitics #timwalz #kamalaharris #politicalnews #breakingnews #election #trump #political #usnews #headlines

i don't care what your politics is, a child being PROUD of their dad is a beautiful sight.

Even I teared up with this. And lord knows I'm not very fond or proud of my dad at all. But it's beautiful to see this happening with others. Wish I had a dad like that. God bless!
