(Los Angeles Times) Some progressives and former backers of Bernie Sanders’ presidential candidacy signaled their dissatisfaction with the choice of Sen. Tim Kaine as Hillary Clinton’s running mate before it was even announced.
Kaine supported legislation in the Senate that was key to advancing a 12-nation trade agreement that has been a priority of the Obama administration, but which both Sanders and Clinton have said they opposed.
This week, liberal groups targeted Kaine for signing on to two letters to the Obama administration seeking modifications to banking regulations that would benefit smaller and community banks. Democracy for America, a group that endorsed Sanders, cast the changes sought by Kaine and other senators as a “lobbyist-driven effort to help banks dodge consumer protection standards and regulations designed to prevent banks from destroying our economy.”
