To Minnesotans, Tim Walz is their governor of six years. To Vice President Kamala Harris, he is her newly official 2024 running mate.
But to Nate Hood, he was Coach and Mr. Walz.
“I’m much more excited about the race now that he’s involved,” Hood, 40, said. “The energy that he’s bringing right now to the campaign reminds me of the energy that he would bring to football practice.”
Formerly Hood’s eleventh-grade geography teacher, Walz is now #2 on the Democratic presidential ticket.
