00:00It's in praises of Democratic Party tycoons like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and

00:06former President Bill Clinton.

00:08The ex-social studies teacher and football coach of Mankato West High in Minnesota formally

00:13accepted the Democratic Party vice presidential nomination for the 2024 November elections.

00:19VOA's Kane Faribault was at the United Center on the third day of the Democratic National

00:24Convention and he filed this report.

00:29During the third day of Democrats National Convention in Chicago, U.S. Senator Cory Booker

00:34from New Jersey outlined the night's theme.

00:37Welcome to night three.

00:40And tonight is about freedom.

00:43While some of the programming provided speakers opportunities to address topics including

00:48reproductive rights, environmental issues and border security, much of the messaging

00:53focused on what Democrats say is the choice in the November election.

00:58Kamala Harris for the people.

01:07And the other guy who's proved even more than the first go around that he's about me, myself

01:19and I.

01:20Former President Bill Clinton was one of the most anticipated speakers of the evening.

01:25Clinton, who has attended every convention for Democrats since 1972, drew from his own

01:30experience in the White House to explain why he believes Vice President Kamala Harris is

01:36the best choice for president.

01:38Kamala Harris will work to solve our problems, seize our opportunities, ease our fears and

01:45make sure every single American, however they vote, has a chance to chase their dreams.

01:55But the key moment for Democrats was hearing from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who accepted

02:00his party's nomination as Vice President.

02:04It's the honor of my life to accept your nomination for Vice President of the United States.

02:12For many in the crowd and those watching the convention around the country, Walz's

02:16speech was a sort of introduction.

02:19Now, I grew up in Butte, Nebraska, a town of 400 people.

02:28I had 24 kids in my high school class and none of them went to Yale.

02:37But I'll tell you what, growing up in a small town like that, you learn how to take care

02:42of each other.

02:43Walz, a military veteran, former teacher and American high school football and basketball

02:49coach, highlighted how these parts of his personal biography prepared him for a life

02:54in politics.

02:56But it was those players and my students who inspired me to run for Congress.

03:01They saw in me what I had hoped to instill in them, a commitment to the common good,

03:08an understanding that we're all in this together, and the belief that a single person can make

03:17a real difference for their neighbors.

03:19As the final speaker, Walz punctuated the freedom theme of the night.

03:24But when we Democrats talk about freedom, we mean the freedom to make a better life

03:29for yourself and the people that you love.

03:32Freedom to make your own health care decisions, and yeah, your kids' freedom to go to school

03:43without worrying about being shot dead in the hall.

03:49Democrats wrap up this convention on Thursday evening with a marquee moment.

03:53The acceptance speech of the party's nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.

03:58Cain Fairbaugh, VOA News, from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
