He started the day of his selection at a fundraiser in Boston and then traveled to Newport, Rhode Island, to headline a fundraiser for the state’s Democratic senator, Jack Reed. Tim Kaine, D-Va., speaks at a rally at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Va. Kaine has been rumored to be one of Clinton’s possible vice president choices.

Clinton and Kaine will be officially proclaimed candidates for president and vice president at the Democratic National Convention next week in Philadelphia. More amendments on superdelegates were expected at the meeting. Bernie Sanders had mixed feelings. She clinched enough delegates to secure the nomination in early June, but Sanders did not concede defeat and endorse her until July 12. The network claims 1,200 members. Those are the party insiders who can vote for the candidate of their choice at the convention.
Supporters of the move say superdelegates have outsized power in the nominating process.
Sanders waged a feisty yearlong battle against Clinton in the Democratic primaries.
But in a nod to party liberals, the Clinton campaign said Kaine will not support the still pending final version of the 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership.
And Obama offered Clinton advice on navigating the fallout from the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe into her email. “But look, she has lots of good choices, and I’m excited to see who she’ll pick”.
Meanwhile, his fluent Spanish skill is also regarded a big help for Clinton to woo some 55 million Hispanics, a body making up approximately 17 percent of the USA population. He also spoke of his Catholic mission to Honduras, where he helped teenagers with carpentry and welding – and learned to speak Spanish.
“And for whatever reasons – and I don’t want to try to analyze the reasons”.
At a Miami rally Saturday, the Virginia senator said one of his sons, who is a U.S. Marine, will soon be deployed to Europe in support of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies, an obvious opening for the generally affable Virginia senator to whack Donald Trump. “Vice-presidential candidate Kaine does not inspire those many millions of energetic voters to stay so deeply engaged and to work for a Clinton-Kaine ticket”.
Clinton tells a campaign crowd in Miami that behind Kaine’s smile is a “backbone of steel”.
Judith Sweeney, 58, from West Park, Fla., said she knew little about Kaine before the joint appearance but said she was impressed by his resume and liked his civil rights work and school reform efforts.
Throughout his remarks, Kaine touted Clinton’s credentials as a potential commander in chief.
“Tim Kaine is everything that Donald Trump and Mike Pence are not”, Clinton began. Sherrod Brown. Both were reportedly on Clinton’s short list, but their home-state GOP governors would have appointed a Republican to replace them if Clinton wins, further tipping a Senate chamber Democrats are trying to flip.
Hillary Clinton and Virginia Sen. Watch how much Clinton chooses to play up that milestone.
Emails posted by Wikileaks on its document disclosure website show DNC officials scoffing at the Sanders campaign – and, in one instance, questioning his commitment to his Jewish religion.
Right off the bat, the contrast that the Clinton campaign will seek to highlight between Kaine and the Republican ticket during the general election was clear.
If the past week in Cleveland brought more of Donald Trump’s unconventional campaign – convention floor slanging matches, a public trial of Mrs Clinton and a plagiarism row – the Democrats are preparing an alternative, grown-up vision of safe hands and experience as they gather in Philadelphia.
