Tim Walz will get his best chance yet to introduce himself to America as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate as he formally accepts the nomination.
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz appear at the Fiserv Forum during a campaign rally in Milwaukee, Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2024. as he formally accepts the nomination to be the party’s vice presidential candidate and caps off a night centered around the theme of freedom.
According to the campaign, Walz will use his primetime address to detail his background of growing up in Nebraska, serving in the National Guard for 24 years, working as a teacher and football coach before heading to Congress and later Minnesota’s governor. Trump’s campaign has tried to paint Walz as a radical liberal along with Harris and accused him of lying about his background through questions about his military service.
Along with Walz, former President Bill Clinton will be another primetime speaker. Other high-profile figures expected for Wednesday night include Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Wednesday night is expected to take a shift in tone from Tuesday, when most of the programming was celebratory filled with music and cheers as speakers pivot to what they see as Trump-led attacks on freedoms like the right to abortion access and IVF. Speakers are also expected to frame Trump as a threat to democracy, a message that Democrats have been leaning on since Biden was in the race.
