Tim Walz And His Kids Had A Hilariously Relatable Moment At The DNC—And We Love To See It

While the Minnesota Governor was speaking to MSNBC at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Monday, his son and daughter, Gus and Hope, couldn't help but give him bunny ears.

Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz and his children had a rather cute and relatable moment during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Monday night.

Seated with his family members—including his wife, Gwen, and his son and daughter, Gus and Hope—during a brief interview with MSNBC, Walz described the experience of being Harris' VP pick as a "privilege" and "an honor."


It was during this moment that Gus and Hope held up bunny-ear fingers behind his head.

You can watch the moment in the video below.

Walz was clearly amused by the moment, later sharing the clip to X, formerly Twitter, and writing:

"My kids keep me humble."

You can see his post below.

People loved the hilariously relatable moment and appreciated Walz's response.


Walz is responsible for a new angle of attack against Republicans, referring to them as "weird people on the other side" while referencing their nationwide assaults on public education, saying they "want to take books away" and "want to be in your exam room."

To that end, he and Harris have done the opposite by portraying themselves as normal as can be, prompting MSNBC to note that the duo "are charting new territory in normcore."

The outlet observed that "some of the videos capturing Harris and Walz’s campaign activities have a conspicuously casual tone, showing Harris petting dogs and campaigning once again in Converse Chuck Taylors. Additionally, Walz is described as "a normcore warrior on the campaign trail, slamming Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance for faking kinship with the working class he scorns using references to food."

The campaign runs counter to the populist themes embraced by former President Donald Trump, who has insisted he is "entitled to personal attacks" against Harris, coming under fire for casting doubt on her racial heritage, and suggesting that a vote for her is a vote for higher crime rates.

But Trump's attacks appear to be backfiring, per recent surveys from the Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos and CBS News/YouGov that show Harris holding at least a 3% lead over Trump nationwide.

Trump Roasted After Sharing Quote Praising Him For Winning 'His First Nobel Prize'—And Yeah, Nope

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he published a Truth Social post in which he quoted Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who claimed this year's Nobel Prize in physics is by an extension a win for the Trump administration.

The Nobel Foundation awarded this year's physics prize to John Clarke (UC Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale and UC Santa Barbara), and John M. Martinis (UC Santa Barbara and Qolab) for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit."

CEO predicts society accepts robot death

In 2009, Waymo introduced its first fleet of driverless cars, sleek pods equipped with sensors, AI, and a “Sense, Solve, Go” system designed to navigate roads autonomously without human input. According to the company, its robotaxis now experience 91 percent fewer crashes and 91 percent fewer serious injuries than human drivers over the same distances.

But even as Waymo brags about its spotless stats, co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana is already bracing for the inevitable: the first fatality caused by one of its cars, and she thinks society will accept it.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

Democratic Senate Candidate Blasts Trump Administration With Reality Check Over Their Withholding Of SNAP Funding

If you ask pretty much any conservative, they will tell you that the government shutdown and all its blowback is entirely the Democrats' fault.

This includes the cancellation of SNAP benefits, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program previously known as "food stamps," beginning in November, which will cut off access to food to millions of people.
