Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine continued a weeklong campaign push with a west Michigan stop on Friday.
The Virginia senator’s Grand Rapids speech emphasized running mate Hillary Clinton’s commitment to jobs and the economy.
He also took multiple swings at Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Kaine says at the end of the day, voters care about character - a presidential quality he says Trump does not have.
"It’s not about 15 policy positions – those are important, but they’re important because they give you a window into the soul of a person. Character. Do you want a 'kids and families first' President, or a 'me-first' President?"
Other speakers at the Friday rally included U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow and U.S. Congressman Dan Kildee.
Several small groups of pro-Bernie and anti-trade agreement supporters rallied outside the event.
Kaine was in Grand Rapids promoting a new campaign office in the city.
Other stops this week included cities in Wisconsin, Florida and North Carolina.
