Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., appeared on CNN’s “New Day” Monday morning to discuss the upcoming Congressional vote for military authorization for the war against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

Kaine, who has been pushing Congress to hold a military authorization vote, said Monday the Senate is expected to vote on an authorization Wednesday or Thursday. He sounded confident the vote would pass, as many in Congress have expressed anger toward President Obama for bypassing Congress when airstrikes started this past summer.
