Walz introduced himself to the country and touted his accomplishments.
The third night of the Democratic National Convention continued the themes of joy and freedom.
A who's who of speakers, including a surprise speech from Oprah Winfrey, headlined the night aimed to showcase vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
"Coach Walz" brought his energy to the crowd touting his and Vice President Kamala Harris' vision for the future of the country.
Tony West, Harris' brother-in-law, also serves as a close adviser to her 2024 campaign.
He's been seen little on the trail but is now on stage talking about meeting Harris and their shared passion for criminal justice.
Alexander Hudlin, Jasper Emhoff and Arden Emhoff, Harris' nephews and niece, touted their aunt as someone who listened to their concerns and pushed them to never give up hope.
The three reciprocated that support.
"Most importantly, you're a baller," Alexander said.
"Let's win this thing," the three said together.
There's some torch-passing in tonight's speaker lineup: from Clinton and Pelosi to Shapiro, Wes Moore, Pete Buttigieg and ending the night with Gov. Walz.

Former House Speaker Nancy did not mention Trump by name during her speech, including when addressing Jan. 6.
"Never before had a president of the United States so brazenly assaulted the bedrock of our democracy, so gleefully embraced political violence, so willfully betrayed his oath of office," she said.
"Let us not forget who assaulted democracy on Jan. 6. He did! But let us not forget who saved democracy that day. We did."
She said lawmakers returning to the Capitol that same night demonstrated that "American democracy prevailed" and called on voters now to "reject autocracy" and "choose democracy" by electing Harris and Walz.
