Bill Clinton, Oprah and Stevie Wonder were helping with Tim Walz’s headline at the DNC
Tim Walz headlines third night of DNC with help, Bill Clinton, Oprah and Stevie Wonder: A tale of two people
The story he tells voters about himself and his ideas has been a major theme of his campaign so far. Walz ticked through his resume: born in the tiny town of Butte, Nebraska, attending a state university, and becoming a schoolteacher.
Walz also spoke, as he and his wife Gwen have repeatedly, about their struggle with infertility prior to having their two children, and the “absolute agony when we heard that the treatments hadn’t worked.” They have allowed Walz to speak to reproductive rights issues, including fertility care, which have become important for Democrats since the Supreme Court overturned Wade.
Walz highlighted another aspect of his personal story – his status as a veteran and his experience as a hunter – describing himself as a “better shot than most Republicans in Congress,” while calling for restrictions designed to prevent gun violence.
He also referenced his background as a high school coach, drawing on football metaphors to describe the urgent task he says Democrats face between now and November.
Bill Clinton thanks President Biden for stepping in to lead after a chaotic Trump presidency, in another high-profile speech.
Clinton also praised Harris and Walz as two people with “all-American but still improbable life stories,” and described Harris as the only candidate with the experience and temperament for the job of president.
Voters in many states will have the chance to vote in November on abortion rights ballot initiatives, according to Mini Timmaraju.
The program also featured advocates for LGBTQ rights, including a video speech from a couple whose marriage was officiated by Harris when she was California’s attorney general.
When it came to abortion rights after the fall of Wade, Dana Nessel didn’t use state resources to enforce an anti-choice 1931 law.

What Goldberg-Polin and Oprah Winfrey Learned about the Interaction Between Israel and the Palestinians in the 1967 Gaza War
Eight Americans, including Goldberg-Polin, are still being held in Gaza. His mom pointed out that he was born in Oakland, California, the same place as Harris.
His father, Jon Polin, spoke of “a surplus of agony on all sides of the tragic conflict in the Middle East. There’s no winners in a pain competition.
Some members of the uncommitted movement complained that they couldn’t speak on stage at the DNC because they weren’t allowed to.
Like the first two nights, the evening included a plea to Republicans who’ve become disillusioned with former President Trump, to support the Democratic ticket.
Olivia Troye, a former Trump White House official described working inside the administration as “terrifying,” and said she’s fearful of another Trump term where the “guard rails” would be gone.
Troye continued her theme by stating that she was supporting Harris because they were both on the same page about protecting our freedom.
The crowd of faithful in the arena in Chicago, but also to voters at home, were what Gov. Tim Walz did before the crowd of faithful in the arena in Chicago.
Oprah Winfrey was the most famous person of the night and she was joined by other celebrity guests, including John Legend and Maren Morris.
The Democratic National Convention at the Third Annual Buttigieg Convention & the First Year in a Row: Kenan Thompson, Isen Walz, George W.B. Harris, L. Jon, Lil
Saturday Night Live veteran Kenan Thompson strode on stage carrying a giant bound copy of the Project 2025 plan developed by the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation. He hosted a series of videos with people who could be affected by the proposed policies, including a woman in a same-sex marriage and an OBGYN physician.
Thompson warned that everything that they talked about was real. You can stop this from happening by electing a woman as the next President of the United States.
Potential future candidates can shine at the convention if they show up, because the event is a chance for them to stand out and make a name for themselves.
Those audiences also heard, though, from President Biden, the Obamas, the Clintons, even Oprah Winfrey, as well as several other speakers before Harris herself takes the stage Thursday night.
Walz also doesn’t have roots in San Francisco, as Harris does, but is of the Midwest, from a small town in Nebraska, a former congressman from a once-red district in Minnesota, governor of that state and, of course, football coach. The Democrats latched onto that last part of his resume. And Walz leaned into that in his speech, telling the crowd that this is the fourth quarter of the election and that Democrats are down a field goal, but they’re on offense and driving down the field. He said that the crowd’s job is to get across the line, while the crowd’s job of those watching is to block and tackle in the election.
Walz, for his part, also made the case for Democratic ideas, not as radical as Republicans have tried to paint them, but as mainstream – things like making housing more affordable, cutting the price of prescription drugs, reducing medical debt, providing meals for children in schools and standing up for abortion rights.
They were certainly on display Wednesday night with speeches by not just Buttigieg, but also people like Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore – three names the country is likely to hear again in Democratic presidential primaries in either four or eight years.
See Jon, Lil. The Democratic National Convention has been a raucous and enthusiastic affair to this point. Part of the reason for this is that President Biden decided to step aside in favor of Harris. Democrats, who had been telling pollsters for more than a year that they did not like their choices, have been invigorated.
There was a double meaning to those chants of, Thank you, Joe. Thank you for what you did as president, but also, thank you for getting out of the race. Biden gave a stemwinder of a valedictory speech, but it also made clear why Democrats were nervous about his candidacy.
That’s something political consultants would have strongly cautioned her against saying while on the campaign trail in 2007 and in the White House after that because she and her husband had to walk a fine line in trying to not offend white voters, who might have been cautious about voting for a Black man to be president. But Michelle Obama is now one of the most beloved Democrats in the country. She had the power to say what she did and she was freed by no longer being involved in electoral politics.
A lot has been made of the fact that Harris would be the first woman to be president, the first Black woman and first South Asian descent to serve in the office. That would be a major historical feat. It is not unusual to see a man rounding the side of his wife who is running for president. It’s also very different from what Bill Clinton did for Hillary Clinton in 2016, the only other time this kind of speech was delivered. He was not only a well-known person but he also had a child with the Clintons.
Emhoff, on the other hand, is someone far less known and his family’s story showed a lot of new things on a political stage. It discussed the challenges of step parenting and an interracial marriage. A lot of marriages end in divorce, so millions of Americans can identify with blended families.
The Table for Drinfeld’s Gigayear-Old Grassmann Lecture on CP Violation and Hereditary Gravity
And now the table is set for Harris. She will be making a speech in front of likely the largest audience she’s had yet. It’s a good opportunity for her to keep up with the pace of progress created by her candidacy. Can she deliver?
