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.
As Walz gave his acceptance speech, his son Gus was spotted in tears listening to his father speak. His daughter Hope was seen holding up a heart to him.
The Walz family joined him on stage after he wrapped up his remarks.
"We got 76 days. That's nothing. There'll be time to sleep when you're dead," he said to cheers. "We’re gonna leave it all on the field. That’s how we’ll keep moving forward."
"I think we owe it to the American people to tell them exactly what she'd do as president before we ask them for their votes," he said. "So here’s the part you clip and save and send to that undecided relatives."
Walz continued, "If you’re a middle-class family or a family trying to get into the middle class, Kamala Harris is gonna cut your taxes. If you’re getting squeezed by the price of your prescription drugs, Kamala Harris is gonna take on Big Pharma. If you’re hoping to buy a home, Kamala Harris is gonna help make it more affordable. And no matter who you are, Kamala Harris is gonna stand up and fight for your freedom to live the life you want to lead."
After focusing on his own biography, Walz turned to skewering Trump and Vance -- and brought back the phrase that made him go viral during the veepstakes: "weird."
"Here's the thing. It’s an agenda that nobody asked for," he said of the Trump-Vance platform. "It’s an agenda that serves nobody but the richest people and the most extreme voices in our country. An agenda that does nothing for our neighbors in need."
"Is it weird? Absolutely," he said. "But it's also wrong."
