Senator Tim Kaine is campaigning in Ann Arbor on Tuesday afternoon.

The Democrats' pick for vice president will talk about getting out the vote, especially for younger voters.

Ann Arbor is, of course, pretty liberal leaning, and Kaine will talk to a college crowd at the University of Michigan.

But he'll also try to build enthusiasm and win over some Bernie Sanders fans. Sanders beat Hillary Clinton by more than 8,000 votes in Washtenaw County during the presidential primary in March.

Getting out the youth vote and shoring up support from their bases is something both Republicans and Democrats have promised to deliver.
