Governor Tim Walz's Keynote Speech

Governor Tim Walz's speech at the Democratic Convention presented him as a relatable and experienced leader, aiming to define Democratic values in contrast to Republican ideals. He reframed the concept of 'freedom,' asserting that for Democrats, it encompasses personal and social liberties like the right to make healthcare decisions and the safety of children in schools. Walz shared personal anecdotes about his life as a teacher and football coach, emphasizing a common-ground approach aimed at connecting with voters beyond the party lines. His mission was twofold: to introduce Kamala Harris and solidify his own position as a candidate who embodies Democratic unity and progressivism.
