On the third night of the Democratic National Convention, Governor Tim Walz delivered a keynote speech aiming to energize the Democratic base ahead of the upcoming election. Using football metaphors, he urged supporters to get in the trenches and put in the work, emphasizing the importance of grassroots efforts such as phone calls and door knocking. Walz expressed a sense of urgency, stating that there are only 76 days left until the election and that it was time to “leave it all on the field.”
Additionally, Oprah Winfrey made her first appearance at a Democratic convention, endorsing Kamala Harris and appealing to independents and undecided voters to support the Democratic ticket. Winfrey highlighted the values of decency and respect, urging voters to consider these qualities when casting their ballots.
The evening also saw other notable speakers, including former President Bill Clinton and Maryland Governor Wes Moore, who criticized President Trump and urged support for the Democratic candidates. Uncommitted delegates staged a sit-in in support of Palestinian representation at the convention, and there were protests outside relating to Gaza solidarity.
The event concluded with Walz being joined on stage by his family before exiting, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. With one final night of programming remaining, featuring Kamala Harris accepting the presidential nomination, the convention highlighted the Democratic Party’s unity and determination to secure victory in the upcoming election.
