Kaine has said in the past that he personally opposes abortion, but does not believe the government should interfere with abortion choices.
Kaine, 58, had always been a favorite for Clinton’s ticket. He was elected mayor of Richmond, then governor of the state, and then Senator.
Clinton’s decision caps a highly secretive, months-long process to find a political partner.
