Trump campaign calls for more presidential debates ‘much earlier’ in election race – live
Team of ex-president, who skipped all primary debates, says more debates mean more Americans get ‘a chance to see the candidates’ before voting begins The Democratic senator for Virginia, Tim Kaine, is best known nationally as Hillary Clinton’s running mate in the 2016 presidential election, a race they lost to Republicans Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
