Tim Walz accepts US vice president nomination

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz formally accepted the vice presidential nomination on the third night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday, Report informs via CBS News.

Deploying a folksy, no-holds-barred tone, Walz recounted his career as a public school teacher and his record as governor of Minnesota. He touted the progressive policies he implemented, including paid leave and protections for reproductive rights, and drew upon his experience as a high school football coach to rally Democrats to continue working to win over voters through election day.

"It's the fourth quarter. We're down a field goal. But we're on offense. We're driving down the field. And, boy, do we have the right team," Walz said. "We got 76 days. That's nothing. There'll be time to sleep when you're dead. We're gonna leave it all on the field. That's how we'll keep moving forward. That's how we'll turn the page on Donald Trump."
