Kaine caves in to Clinton on abortion

Published July 27, 2016 3:38am ET



Va. Sen. Tim Kaine struck a deal with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton during a private meeting Tuesday. He agreed to help her repeal the Hyde Amendment, which restricts federal funds from going toward abortions, according to reports.

Kaine, the newly named running mate to Clinton, is personally opposed to abortion due to religious beliefs, but has a 100 percent pro-choice voting record in the Senate.
