On Wednesday, most Americans were introduced to Gus Walz, the 17-year-old son of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, when he excitedly stood up and shouted, "That's my dad!" in response to the Democratic vice presidential nominee’s stirring speech on the third day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
This touching moment stood out amidst a night featuring former President Bill Clinton's speech, a performance by John Legend, and Sheila E's impressive rendition of Prince's "Purple Rain," another tribute to Minnesota's renowned talent.
Since being thrust into the national spotlight following Vice President Kamala Harris’s selection of his father as her running mate earlier this month, Tim Walz, a straightforward former football coach and public-school teacher, has been open about his family life. He has discussed his and his wife Gwen’s use of fertility treatments to have their children, Hope, 23, and Gus, 17, and has also talked about Gus’s learning differences.
