Gus Walz, the son of Kamala Harris‘ running mate Tim Walz, took the internet by storm as netizens hailed him and his family members for their heart-touching gesture to the Minnesota Governor during his emotional DNC speech on Wednesday.
After appearing on the stage, Walz hailed his family and expressed his love for them, mentioning that “you are my whole world”. The Governor also highlighted the infertility struggles of his and wife Gwen, and told the crowd about the difficulties they both had faced to conceive their two kids, Hope and Gus.
Gus, moved by his father’s remarks, leaped out of his seat to say: “That’s my dad,” while pointing his index finger towards him.
While Walz’s son,17, burst into tears, his daughter Hope, 23, was seen making a heart symbol gesture.
Meanwhile, netizens hailed the Walz family for expressing their emotions publicly, with many people stating on X that “this is called parenting.”
Calling the Walz family “ordinary people and down to earth”, one netizen took a swipe at Donald Trump, asking: “Can you imagine Melania and the rest showing that much genuine affection for Donald?”
