00:00The son of Vice Presidential Candidate Tim Walz becomes an enduring image on day three
00:09of the Democratic National Convention.
00:11Gus, the son of Kamala Harris' 61-year-old running mate, jumped up, sobbing, pointing
00:17at the stage while yelling,
00:18"'That's my dad.'"
00:20Gus has a nonverbal learning disorder, ADHD, and an anxiety disorder.
00:25Democrats hope Walz's folksy charm will win over white men in rural areas who voted for
00:30Trump.
00:31Freedom to make your own health care decisions, your kids' freedom to go to school without
00:36worrying about being shot dead in the hall.
00:39The Democrats also put the spotlight on the siege of the U.S. Capitol, with a video showing
00:44Republican candidate Donald Trump encouraging supporters.
00:47I will be looking very, very strongly at that pardon.
00:51Let us not forget who assaulted democracy on January 6th.
00:56He did!
