CHICAGO — Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz’s son Gus stole the show during his father’s speech to the DNC on Wednesday night after he was brought to tears and the two shared an emotional moment.
“Hope, Gus and Gwen, you are my entire world,” Walz told his family during his speech after discussing fertility treatments his wife received to have children and the camera showed Walz’s family becoming emotional and his son Gus shedding tears and pointing at his dad.
Gus then stood up and began clapping and continuing to shed tears.
“That’s my Dad,” Gus Walz appeared to say.
