Vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has developed a reputation as a jolly man, one who appears to love life and family. He is also, we now know, a man who loves balloons.
The final night of the DNC was capped by a speech from Vice President Kamala Harris and a celebratory balloon drop. The former teacher and high school football coach seemed to enjoy the whimsical moment, batting balloons while smiling from ear to ear.
Pure joy is Walz amongst hundreds of falling balloons at the DNC. See for yourself:

The exuberance and joy on his face is priceless.
Obligatory cat pic!
The winning celebration will take the balloon drop to another level!
If you want to know what kind of politics Minnesota has, look at the guy we chose to head our government.
I think Paul Wellstone would be proud.
I’m convinced the politician pointing from the stage is just showmanship, so they have something to do with their hands. The same reason actors like cigarettes. It gives their hands something to do and creates a narrative the viewer can fill in any way they like.
But not as much as JD Vance loves couches.
(And not in the same way, either.)
