The democratic Midwestern governor while a believer in the second amendment stressed his utter rejection of shooting incidents in the country and advocated for tightening gun control, "I believe in the Second Amendment, but I also believe our first responsibility is to keep our kids safe." During his address, Walz warned of Republican Party presidential nominee, Donald Trump, saying that his reelection would only serve the agenda of the wealthy and radical.
The third night of the DNC saw notable speakers including former president Bill Clinton, former House of Representative speaker Nancy Pelosi, who in turn hailed the social and health policies introduced by the Biden-Harris administration. Pelosi, an influential member of the party, and the only female house speaker, said the Harris is "ready to take us to new heights," The penultimate night of the convention held with the theme "A fight for our freedoms" in a jab against rivaling Republican Party.
