He called on Democrats to fully commit to the campaign over the next 76 days, urging supporters to 'leave it on the field' as they face off against Donald Trump. Walz highlighted his achievements in Minnesota, including policies on prescription drug costs and abortion access, while contrasting these with what he described as a 'weird' agenda from Trump and his running mate JD Vance. He portrayed the upcoming election as a critical moment akin to the final minutes of a football game, emphasizing the need for teamwork and perseverance. His speech resonated with attendees, many of whom chanted 'Coach' in reference to his background as a football coach. Walz's daughter, Hope, has also emerged as a relatable figure on the campaign trail, showcasing a new dynamic in political family engagement.
