Sen. Tim Kaine, the 2016 Democratic vice presidential candidate, is endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden for president.

“Barack Obama wisely chose Joe as his partner in the White House,” the Virginia senator said in a statement. “Joe Biden has exemplary heart, character, and experience. He reminds me of Harry S. Truman, an outwardly ordinary man whose work ethic, faith in the goodness of everyday Americans, and love of country made him a great President. I am proud to vote for Joe Biden.”


Kaine’s endorsement comes ahead of the Super Tuesday primary in Virginia.
