Tim Walz, a 60-year-old former high school football coach with a thick Midwestern accent, has gained popularity on social media for his unassuming and uncool demeanor. A video filmed a year ago featuring Walz with his daughter, Hope, at the Minnesota State Fair went viral during his vetting period. The video captures Walz's reaction on a ride called the Slingshot and his lighthearted interaction with his daughter.
