“It’s the fourth quarter. We’re down a field goal, but we’re on offense and we’ve got the ball,» Minnesota governor Tim Walz says
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz channeled his days as an assistant high school football coach to rally the Democratic team in his acceptance speech on the third night of the Democratic National Convention.

The Democratic vice presidential candidate officially accepted his nomination on stage at the convention in Chicago Wednesday. With 75 days left until election day, Walz told the Democrats in attendance that it was time to get their heads in the game.
