Democrats Unite at National Convention: Walz and Harris Lead the Charge

Vice presidential candidate Tim Walz rallied fellow Democrats during a political pep rally on Wednesday night, pledging victory alongside presidential running mate Kamala Harris against Republican Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. election.

Walz, previously little known nationally, brought his small-town values and plain-speaking style to a jubilant crowd at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, stressing key issues such as children's welfare, healthcare, and housing rights.

Prominent figures including Oprah Winfrey and former President Bill Clinton joined in, underscoring the campaign's message of decency and opposition to Trump. The event also featured emotional moments, such as Walz's son cheering for him, and addressed contentious subjects like Biden's support for Israel's actions in Gaza.
