Tim Kaine (D-Virginia) agreed, telling NOTUS that he has no plans to \u201cpre-but\u201d Trump\u2019s expected remarks, since the president isn\u2019t going to address the issues that are actually impacting his constituents\u2019 pocketbooks.<\/p><p>\u201cEverything that\u2019s been rumored as a topic of the speech is a distraction,\u201d Kaine said. \u201cIs he going to stop a war that is imposing massive costs? There\u2019s a reason why people\u2019s confidence in the economy is at its lowest.\u201d<\/p><p>And Sen.
