Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) cruised to re-election on Tuesday against Confederate flag-defending, far-right Republican Corey Stewart. Kaine, his party’s 2016 vice presidential candidate, ran on a progressive platform that embraced health care for all, tougher gun control laws and increasing access to education. In Stewart, he faced a challenger known for his anti-immigrant rhetoric and associations with white supremacist groups. “I’m running a positive campaign ― a Virginia that works for all,” Kaine told Roanoke-based WDBJ-TV last week. “Let them be the dividers, we’ll be the uniters,” Kaine said of Republicans in an interview with Politico last week.
