Coach Walz and I know the middle class built this great country of ours. When the middle class is strong, America is strong.

Can we hear it up for Tim Walz? Isn’t he amazing? He’s going to be the most incredible vice president.

I’ve never been that impressed with his political operation. They won the White House. Bravo. But my concern was: This ain’t happening, and we have to make a decision for this to happen.

On Monday, I officially became the Democratic nominee for president of the United States.

And in 90 days, the nation will know Coach Walz by the title vice president of the United States.

I am clear, the path to the White House runs right through this state.

The courts will take care of that. We need to win in November.

We are doing this. We are doing this.

At a time when acceptance was difficult to find for LGBTQ students, Tim knew the signal that it would send to have a football coach get involved.

You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking.

This election is going to be a fight. We like a good fight.

We're going to let the courts take control of that, rather than encouraging that divisiveness that has consumed our politics.

You all know how to fight and you know how to win.

We're going to get that done.

Today, I also bring greetings from our incredible President Joe Biden.

We will win in November.

We fight for a future where we defend our most fundamental freedoms.

Tim Walz is a hunter and gun owner who believes we need reasonable gun safety laws in America.
