Democrats got ready for their convention with a big event Saturday in Miami. At a rally, Hillary Clinton announced that Virginia Senator Tim Kaine will be her running mate for the White House, and the two made their first appearance together. ABC News reports that Clinton called Kaine to confirm the choice after a rally in Tampa Friday night. Her second phone call was to President Obama, who on Saturday, sent a fundraising email to loyal Democrats praising the choice of Kaine, calling him a true progressive and a key word for the Democratic constituency.
