In a text message, followed by an email to her supporters, Hillary Clinton announced that former Virginia Governor and current Virginia Senator Tim Kaine is her running mate in the 2016 presidential election.
"Tim is a lifelong fighter for progressive causes and one of the most qualified vice presidential candidates in our nation's history," Clinton said in the email announcement.
To add to her major announcement today, her campaign launched a political ad to celebrate the announcement. In the video, Kaine is quoted comparing Clinton to the Republican nominee Donald Trump – without mentioning his name. "Hillary's ready to be leader, Hillary's ready to make history," Kaine ends.
Clinton and Kaine are expected to appear at their first joint campaign event tomorrow in Miami, Florida.
