Tim Walz promised a “joyous” Democratic National Convention in a lightning round of brief speeches Monday morning—pointedly not mentioning Donald Trump or JD Vance.
“What we’re going to show America over the next three days is what democracy looks like,” he said in his very first appearance at the event, a breakfast for delegates from Wisconsin. “It’s joyous, it’s inclusive."
“We understand what the alternative is. That doesn’t motivate people. It’s not just beating those guys. It’s about setting a course for our future that’s brighter for everyone.”
I mean, he mentions them too… just not by name. But also, him focusing on policy/good stuff/etc. IS news because Biden’s entire campaign was “hi I’m not trump” so it kinda does bear saying wow thank god he is talking about actual stuff and not trump.
