Hillary Clinton selects Virginia Senator Tim Kaine as running mate

Whether serving as mayor of Richmond, Virginia’s lieutenant governor, governor, and now as USA senator, Tim has always shown a commitment to serving others.

McCormick, who didn’t attend a midday fundraiser at the UMass Club in downtown Boston, said he recently saw the former Virginia governor at another fundraiser on Martha’s Vineyard a few weeks ago.

Rudy McCollum replaced Kaine as Richmond mayor in 2001, having previously worked with the now-senator as vice mayor.

In a recent interview with CBS News, Clinton noted that Kaine has never lost an election during his lengthy political career and praised him as a “world-class mayor, governor and senator”. Crooked Hillary & rigged system!

The greater interest on social media may be on what nickname Trump settles on for McDonnell.

CLEVELAND – As Republicans continue to work through the process of uniting around their presidential nominee Donald Trump, Tennessee’s delegates at the Republican National Convention have already united around their disdain for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Clinton called the speeches at the Republican convention “scary”, and in a preview of what could be her 2016 campaign slogan, Clinton told the crowd “love trumps hate”. Tim Kaine is a true Virginian in every sense of the definition.

Republican nominee Donald Trump has called for deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants and banning Muslims from entering the U.S. He has vowed to nominate Supreme Court justices committed to overturning abortion rights and same-sex marriage. A tweet and a fist bump confirmed Hillary Clinton’s pick for her vice presidential running mate, Senator Tim Kaine from the battleground state of Virginia.

In an email to her supporters, Clinton said Kaine is a lifelong fighter for progressive causes and one of the most qualified vice presidential candidates in the nation’s history.

Lynch says Kaine is a moderate Democrat, something that will not help bridge the divide with the supporters of her opponent during the primary, Bernie Sanders, but Lynch says, that may be because she doesn’t think she needs to.

Liberal Democrats oppose a free-trade deal with Asia that Kaine supports, and Hispanic activists may be annoyed that Latino candidates were once again passed over for the running mate spot. Kaine and Clinton campaigned last week in Northern Virginia as a tryout of sorts, and Clinton walked away impressed and comfortable with him as a partner. “But that was not going to happen”, Cohen said, noting Kaine and Clinton have known each other for a while. In 2005, he was elected governor, and in 2012, he won his Senate seat.

“It’s only fitting that Hillary Clinton would select an ethically challenged insider like Tim Kaine who’s personally benefited from the rigged system”, spokesman Jason Miller said. They have three children together. “You don’t want to be the life of the party”, U.S. Rep.

“Like me, Tim grew up in the Midwest”.
