Hillary Clinton announces Senator Tim Kaine as her Vice Presidential running mate

Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has named Senator Tim Kaine as her Vice Presidential running mate.

Mrs Clinton made the announcement via Twitter after the first day of a two-day campaign swing in Florida. 58-year old Kaine, a former Virginia governor edged out two other finalists



- Cory Booker, a senator from New Jersey, and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

Clinton's choice of a running mate could give her campaign momentum heading into the next week's Democratic convention, as the fight for the White House begins a more than three-month push to the finish.
