This heartwarming interaction resonated widely across social media platforms within the political community.
“Put politics aside,” tweeted MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on X. ”If you aren’t impacted by 17-year-old Gus Walz crying as he witnesses his father being nominated for Vice President… perhaps it’s time to reflect on what matters.”
“Team Gus all the way!” added former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki in her own post on X.
