Finney also said that she does not anticipate Pence to go after Kaine for skipping the vote to hand President Barack Obama the first veto override of his administration last week. Mr. Trump told rallies on Monday that the tax code work in favour of rich people like him and accused professional politicians like Ms. Clinton for the situation.

“It’s going to be very interesting to see how Mike Pence responds to questions about Trump’s behavior in the last week”, he added, also speaking on “CBS This Morning”.

Tim Kaine and Mike Pence start out tied in the expectations game, with 38% saying they expect each man to do a better job in Tuesday’s face-off in Virginia, and about one-quarter of voters unsure which one will prevail.

Tim Kaine and Mike Pence.
Vice President Joe Biden is assailing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for remarks suggesting that soldiers who suffer from mental health issues might not be as strong as those who don’t. “But I’ve got a lot of scar tissue”.
Virginia is leaning Democratic in recent polls, according to ABC News’ electoral map, and Kaine is undoubtedly banking on his decades-long history in the state to help him onstage tonight. Pence’s political views are conservative through and through – even if the same can’t always be said for his running mate.
So for voters, this debate is a true test of whether or not the vice presidential candidates are ready to lead the nation.

Podesta also said Kaine will target Pence, the current governor of IN, specifically on his push to defund Planned Parenthood and his controversial support of a religious freedom protection measure that many saw as anti-LGBT discrimination.
