Tim Walz has accepted his nomination as the vice-presidential candidate alongside Kamala Harris at the Democratic convention, portraying their campaign as a 'winning team' ready to take on the challenges of the upcoming election. Walz criticized rival JD Vance and emphasized the importance of unity and collective action, echoing sentiments from figures like Oprah Winfrey and Bill Clinton, who also spoke at the event. Winfrey, despite her independent registration, appealed to undecided voters to support Harris and Walz against the backdrop of perceived Republican divisiveness. Clinton warned Democrats to remain vigilant, recalling past electoral disappointments. The urgency of the election is underscored by concerns over the future of democracy and civil rights, particularly in light of Project 2025's implications. Independent journalism is highlighted as crucial in navigating these pivotal times, with calls for public support to sustain it.
