During the third night of the 2024 DNC on Wednesday, August 21, the 60-year-old politician addressed the large crowd in Chicago to discuss his experiences as a teacher, a coach, a governor and as a father to his children, <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2024\/08\/08\/tim-walz-reveals-sons-secret-power\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">Gus<\/a> and Hope, whom he shares with wife <strong>Gwen Whipple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-3\">\u201cIt\u2019s the honor of my life to accept your nomination for vice president of the United States,\u201d he began. While he emphasized his devotion to serve as VP, Tim pointed to his family, who were in the crowd supporting him. \u201cHope, Gus and Gwen, you are my entire world, and I love you,\u201d Tim added. Gus and Hope shedded a few tears together during the emotional moment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">Throughout his speech, the former governor of Minnesota described what he learned as a former social studies teacher and a sports coach, admitting that he hasn\u2019t \u201cgiven a lot of big speeches like this,\u201d but he has \u201cgiven a lot of pep talks\u201d to teams.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">\u201cSo, let me finish with this, team,\u201d Tim said while comparing the election to a football game. \u201cIt\u2019s the fourth quarter. We\u2019re down a field goal. But we\u2019re on offense, and we\u2019ve got the ball. We\u2019re driving down the field. And boy, do we have the right team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe title=\"FULL SPEECH: Tim Walz addresses the DNC on Wednesday night\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/akyHYNiVCQU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">He then went on to praise Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><strong>Kamala Harris<\/strong><\/a> amid her race to the White House and motivated the crowd to help her win the election.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">\u201cKamala Harris is tough. Kamala Harris is experienced. And Kamala Harris is ready,\u201d the veteran continued. \u201cOur job, our job, our job, our job for everyone watching, is to get in the trenches and do the blocking and tackling. One inch at a time. One yard at a time. One phone call at a time. One door knock at a time. One $5 donation at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">Elsewhere in his speech, Tim took a few digs at the Republican candidate, <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/donald-trump\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><strong>Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a>. While comparing his former presidency to a high school \u201cstudent body president,\u201d the Democrat quipped, \u201cAnd you know what? Those teenagers could teach Donald Trump a hell of a lot about what a leader is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">\u201cLeaders don\u2019t spend all day insulting people and blaming others. Leaders do the work,\u201d he concluded. \u201cSo, I don\u2019t know about you.
