Seventeen-year-old Gus Walz could be seen exclaiming “That’s my dad!” as the governor of Minnesota accepted the party nomination for vice president. Gus took the stage with his family afterward, wrapping his dad in a tight bear hug, burying his face in his shoulder. The high school senior’s joy quickly went viral on social media.
