U.S. Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia formally accepted the Democratic vice¹ presidential nomination² at the 2016 Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.

 

周三举行的2016年民主党全国大会上，来自弗吉尼亚州的美国参议员蒂姆·凯恩正式接受民主党的副总统提名。

 

Following a long list of Democratic leaders and liberal activists³ like Vice President Joe Biden, Kaine, 58, took the stage at the Wells Fargo Center to announce his nod to be the running mate of Hillary Clinton, who officially captured her party's presidential nomination on Tuesday.

 

"I humbly⁴ accept my party's nomination to be vice president of the United States," a smiling Kaine said to thunderous applause.

 

Kaine, a low-key Spanish-speaking politician from the battleground state of Virginia, seized the night to introduce himself to a cheerful national audience at the convention hall and millions in front of the television at home.

 

He is expected to cement Clinton's lead among Hispanic voters and offer her a political boost among the state's independent voters and moderate Republicans displeased⁵ with their party's nominee⁶ Donald Trump⁷.
