Watch Tim Kaine, potential vice president, play harmonica with Stephen Colbert's house band

Tim Kaine warms up Stephen Colbert audience — (Image credit: Late Show)

It isn't exactly Bill Clinton playing saxophone on Arsenio Hall in 1992 (he also played a ballad), but Hillary Clinton's running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), pulled out his harmonica on Thursday to do a little blues jam with Jon Batiste and Stay Human, Stephen Colbert's Late Show house band. Now, the harmonica isn't the world's, um, coolest instrument, but it's arguably a step up the hep ladder from Batiste's melodica, and hey, Kaine isn't bad. If Hillary wins, maybe he and Bill can form a White House band. Watch below. Peter Weber
