In an interview with NBC's Chuck Todd that aired on Sunday, Hillary Clinton's running mate said that he agreed with Sen. Al Franken's concerns that the merger may lead to "higher costs, fewer choices, and even worse service for consumers." "I share those concerns and questions," We've got to get to the bottom of them," Kaine said.
