Hillary Clinton has officially selected Sen. Tim Kaine, a Spanish-speaking former governor from the battleground state of Virginia, as her 2016 running mate. "I'm thrilled to announce my running mate, Tim Kaine, a man who's devoted his life to fighting for others," she tweeted Friday night. "Tim Kaine is a relentless optimist who believes no problem is unsolvable if you put in the work to solve it." The two are expected to appear together Saturday at a public rally held at Miami's Florida International University.
