Those on the populist left would have much preferred a progressive firebrand like Sanders or Warren on the ticket with Clinton. Instead they’re stuck with Kaine, who is opposed to abortion and enthusiastic about trade. Though Kaine is perceived as wobbly on abortion rights, he says these are “moral decisions for individuals to make for themselves.” His record in the Senate – 100% scores from Planned Parenthood and NARAL – suggests he means what he says and should quiet liberal concerns.
