As we all know, Kamala is brat. And that’s a message that Hope Walz, the 23-year-old daughter of vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz, seems to cosign.
The Walz family stepped into the national spotlight in a big way on Wednesday night, as the Minnesota governor accepted the nomination for veep at the Democratic National Convention. And while people online can’t stop talking about Hope’s brother, Gus, and his emotional reaction to his dad’s speech, I couldn’t help but notice another detail.
As her brother stood and cheered and shouted and wept, Hope Walz sat teary-eyed beside him, making a Taylor Swift–like heart with her hands. Her nails, I saw, were painted a very specific shade: brat green.

Brat green is, of course, the official shade of brat summer, the movement sweeping the nation in response to Charli XCX’s now-iconic album brat. This pop-culture movement has not only taken over the zeitgeist, but has also had a consequential impact on the 2024 presidential election.
When Vice President Kamala Harris announced her candidacy for president following President Joe Biden’s departure from the race, Charli anointed Harris as “brat” on social media, leading to an explosion of memes and discourse and actual, legitimate excitement for Harris’s candidacy. And as the DNC has gotten underway this week, the excitement among young people in particular has been palpable, proving that the campaign’s embrace of the meme-heavy online discussion of her seems to be having an actual real-world impact.
Therefore, it doesn’t feel plausible that Hope’s choice of this particular nail-polish shade could be a coincidence, right? Especially because, since her emergence on a national stage less than a month ago, Hope has already proven to be a bona fide Gen Z woman of the people with her styling choices.
