"I'm thrilled to tell you this first: I've chosen Sen. Tim Kaine as my running mate. Kaine was the only vice presidential candidate to have a private family lunch during the vetting process, the official said. But Republican Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, who has been critical of Trump, said on Twitter that he was trying to count the ways he hated Tim Kaine. Hillary Clinton named US Senator Tim Kaine as her running mate on Friday, opting for an experienced governing partner who will help her present the Democratic ticket as a steady alternative to the unpredictable campaign of Republican presidential rival Donald Trump. She called Kaine to tell him about 40 minutes before the announcement, and called President Barack Obama shortly after Kaine.
