Harris is 'tough, experienced and ready' to be president, says Tim Walz

Kamala Harris is "tough, experienced and is ready" to be the next president of the United States, her running mate Tim Walz has said, stressing that they will "turn the page" on Donald Trump.

Minnesota Governor Walz's remarks came as he accepted his party's nomination for vice president at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday.

It's the honour of my life to accept your nomination for vice president of the United States, Walz, 60, said.

He also thanked Vice President Harris for inviting him on to the ticket and thanked President Joe Biden for four years of strong, historic leadership. Kamala Harris is ready. Our job is to get in the trenches and to the blocking and tackling one inch at a time, one yard at a time, Walz, running mate of Harris said in his acceptance speech.

He then led the supporters in a rallying cry for their 2024 campaign: I don't know about you, I'm ready to turn the page on these guys. Go ahead, say it with me, We're not going back!'
