The wait is over, the lines have been drawn, the parties are ready for war; Hillary Clinton has announced her pick for a running mate, and it is none other than Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. In a clear attempt to rip the headlines away from Trump and the rest of the Republican National Convention, Clinton has laced her boots, wrapped her fists and is ready to come out swinging.
Tomorrow, July 23rd, she is set to introduce Kaine at a campaign rally in Miami, Florida, in what is ready to become a landmark moment in this race to the White House. Miami, a city that is home to many Spanish-speaking residents, is a masterful choice to debut Kaine, who is fluent in the language.
Kaine is a former Governor and Senator from Virginia, a state that has voted primarily Republican over the past 30 years. Perhaps having Kaine on the ballot will help sway the state in Clinton’s favor come November. Kaine is midwestern through and through; born in Missouri and raised in Kansas by a father working as a welder, Kaine may help fill in some of the holes the voting public perceive in Hillary Clinton. He is also a fantastic pick for Clinton based on his history with Gun Control, a topic that is sure to remain in the headlines in the coming months.
