TAMPA, Fla. — Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine are sharing a stage at their first public campaign event as the Democratic ticket.

Clinton is calling Kaine a progressive who likes to get things done and says he’s “everything that Donald Trump and Mike Pence are not” — referring to the Republican nominees.

Clinton and Kaine are being greeted by cheers from a boisterous Miami crowd in the crucial battleground state of Florida. Their appearance comes just days before the Democratic National Convention begins in Philadelphia.
