DNC CONVENTION | Sen. Tim Kaine 'humbly' accept Dem VP nomination

PHILADELPHIA (AP) —

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine is "humbly" accepting his party's nomination for vice president.

Kaine tells the Democratic convention in Philadelphia that he formally accepts the party's nomination on behalf of his wife, Anne, "and every strong woman in this country," their three children and everyone in the military.

The former governor of Virginia and mayor of Richmond says he'll run for vice president on behalf of families working to get ahead, for senior citizens hoping for a dignified retirement and for every person who wants America to be a beloved community.

And Kaine says he'll do it for his friend and running mate, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
