Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is set to accept the Democratic Vice Presidential nomination alongside Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention, following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race due to declining health. Prominent Democrats are urging for a Palestinian American to speak at the convention, reflecting concerns over the war in Gaza. Abbas Alawieh, leading the Uncommitted Movement, has been staging a sit-in to pressure the Harris campaign for broader representation. Walz's acceptance was highlighted by his son Gus's proud reaction, which sparked discussions on neurodivergence and drew significant attention on social media. The convention has featured speeches from prominent Democrats, including Barack and Michelle Obama, who delivered a strong rebuke of Donald Trump while energizing the party base. This wave of enthusiasm is likened to Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, emphasizing unity and momentum.
