PHILADELPHIA ― The Democratic Party officially nominated Virginia Sen.
“We’re not running the Hillary Clinton ampaign in Florida, we’re running the coordinated campaign in Florida”.
With progressives still uneasy about Hillary Clinton’s candidacy, the Massachusetts Democrat declined to say Tuesday whether Clinton had tapped the best running mate to convince supporters of Sen.
“I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised by the range and depth of his progressive credentials”, said Rep. Peter Welch, a Democrat from Vermont who backed Sanders. In Philadelphia, he used the words of Republicans who’ve criticized Trump, including former first lady Barbara Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Kean, who chaired the federal 9/11 commission, skipped this year’s Republican National Convention, the first time he’s done that since he became involved in politics, because he disagreed with Trump on too many issues.
“Let’s talk about trust”, Kaine said in his Wednesday night speech at the Democratic convention. Before 2015, Virginia politicians were allowed to accept gifts as long as they were disclosed to the public, making what Kaine did completely legal.
The Clinton campaign believes Kaine has the potential to draw in more moderate voters. “We share this belief: Do all the good you can”.
Before closing his remarks, Kaine returned to making the case for Clinton, something he’ll spend the next three months doing as he crisscrosses the country.
