Bob Beard will serve as a delegate alternate at the DNC.
A former mayor as well governor, Kaine is an experienced politician and has been thoroughly vetted.

Experience: Kaine has represented Virginia in the US Senate since 2013 and was the state’s governor from 2006-10. When someone from the crowd yells “Trump is insane”, Kaine easily jokes that he’s hiring for the speechwriting team.
