Former football players coached by Gov. Tim Walz will be present as his name is put forward for nomination as the vice presidential candidate, marking a significant moment in his political journey.
The ex-players from Mankato West High School, where Walz previously coached, will stand alongside Ben Ingman, a former student, as he officially nominates Walz. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and the team's head coach will also be part of the event.
This event on Wednesday will serve as an introduction for many Americans to the vice presidential nominee. Walz aims to connect with voters by emphasizing the values he learned during his upbringing in Nebraska, as stated by the Harris-Walz campaign.
In what will be the most significant speech of his political career, Walz plans to trace his journey from the Sandhills of Nebraska through his roles as a teacher, football coach, congressman, and governor. The campaign mentioned that he will highlight how his roots influenced his service in the National Guard, a topic that has sparked debate. He will link these experiences to Kamala Harris' policies for supporting working families and urge the audience to support her election.
