Key takeaways from day three of DNC 2024: Walz says Trump's agenda isn't just 'weird, it's wrong'
-snip-
(Yahoo) Exactly one month ago, President Biden ended his reelection bid and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, to replace him atop the Democratic ticket. It feels like it’s been one year. And aside from Harris’s rapid rise — she went from having a favorable rating almost as low as Biden’s to leading former President Donald Trump seemingly overnight — the sudden emergence of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as a leading voice for post-Biden Democrats has probably been the most dizzying development of the last 30 days.
Walz has long been popular in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but he was largely unknown everywhere else. Wednesday was his national debut — and he laid the Americana on thick.
“I haven’t given a lot of big speeches like this,” the former high-school teacher and football coach said near the end of his remarks. “But I have given a lot of pep talks. So let me finish with this, team. It’s the fourth quarter. We’re down a field goal. But we’re on offense and we’ve got the ball. We’re driving down the field. And boy, do we have the right team. Kamala Harris is tough. Kamala Harris is experienced. And Kamala Harris is ready.”
