Tim Walz Takes the Spotlight at Democratic National Convention

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the vice-presidential nominee alongside Kamala Harris, delivered a passionate speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last night. Walz accepted the nomination with a fiery address, criticizing Donald Trump as "weird" and "dangerous," while highlighting his Midwestern roots to emphasize the ticket's appeal to a broad spectrum of voters.

Earlier in the evening, former President Bill Clinton cautioned Democrats against complacency, reminding them of past elections that were lost despite early confidence, a likely nod to his wife Hillary Clinton's 2016 defeat.

Throughout the convention, Harris and her supporters have shifted their strategy, framing Trump not as the traditional villain or threat to democracy, but as a deceitful fraud exploiting populist rhetoric. They accuse him of being an anti-union "scab" and a fake champion of the working class.
