Dad must be smiling down from heaven.

According to a new report, the late Tim Russert’s son, Luke, will be covering the Democratic and Republican conventions for NBC News.

The younger Russert’s assignment as a convention correspondent focusing on “youth issues” is his first for NBC, the network stated Thursday.

NBC New’s president stated, “Never before in an election cycle has so much attention turned to the youth vote, and Luke will bring a unique perspective to covering it.”

Russert said in a statement that he was “humbled and grateful” for the opportunity.

We’re sure he’ll do a great job!
