Kaine Nominated as the Democratic VP Candidate

PHILADELPHIA, Penn. -- The Democratic National Convention formally nominated Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as the party's vice presidential candidate by acclamation this afternoon.

Kaine was announced by Clinton as her running-mate last Friday and he has been spotted at the Wells Fargo Arena during the Democratic National Convention this week. He is slated to address the crowd this evening.

Clinton was also nominated by acclamation yesterday by her formal rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, but it came after a full roll call vote and the roll call tally will still be recorded in the official record.

Despite rumblings of pro-Bernie delegates trying to derail Kaine's nomination, no one else garnered the 300 signatures necessary to have their name placed into nomination. Convention chair Rep. Marcia Fudge confirmed that Kaine's name was the only name submitted for nomination and was the one to move to nominate Kaine by acclimation.
