CHICAGO — Democrats enthusiastically introduced Vice Presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to the country Wednesday night, who made an appeal to Middle America by emphasizing his own background and career.
Walz, who took the stage to John Mellencamp’s “Small Town” and delegates holding signs that read “Coach Walz” and chants of “coach,” described himself as a National Guard veteran, a public school teacher, and a governor who successfully implemented a range of progressive priorities.
“We made sure that every kid in our state gets breakfast and lunch, every day,” he said. “While other states were banning books from their schools, we were banishing hunger from ours.”
