Vice presidential nominee Tim Walz and former President Bill Clinton are headlining the third evening of the Democratic National Convention. The party hopes to build on the momentum that Kamala Harris has brought since joining the race a month ago. Walz, the Minnesota governor, has become known among supporters as a folksy, Midwestern teacher, football coach and dad. He has also become the target of Republican criticism over how he’s portrayed his National Guard service and his personal story. Organizers have dubbed Wednesday night “a fight for our freedoms,” and is focused on abortion access and other rights that Democrats want to center in their campaign against Donald Trump.
