ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Democratic vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, his wife, Gwen, and their son, Gus, went to a polling place in St. Paul on a crip fall Wednesday morning to cast their ballots early.

It was the first time voting for Gus, who just turned 18. “I’m excited about it,” Walz told reporters on his way in to the Ramsey County Elections office.

Walz reportedly stood with Gus as they fed their ballots into the tabulation machine. An election worker called out “first-time voter” and the room erupted in cheers. The governor and son then high-fived each other.

Speaking briefly to reporters afterward, and sporting a red “I voted” sticker on his lapel, Walz called the election “a chance to turn the page on the chaos of Donald Trump, and a new way forward.”
