WASHINGTON: 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.
The selection of Kaine, a self-described “boring” Virginian with a reputation for low-key competence, could appeal to independents and moderates, but it quickly angered liberal groups that object to his advocacy for an Asian free-trade pact.
The Spanish-speaking former Virginia governor and Richmond mayor fit Clinton's long-stated criteria that the vice presidential choice be a capable and reliable partner who is ready to take over the presidency if necessary.
Clinton made the announcement via Twitter and a text message to supporters after the first day of a two-day campaign swing in Florida. She called Kaine to tell him about 40 minutes before the announcement, and called President Barack Obama shortly after Kaine.
“I'm thrilled to tell you this first: I've chosen Sen. Tim Kaine as my running mate. Welcome him to my team,” she said in her text message.
Kaine, 58, edged out two other finalists - Cory Booker, a US senator from New Jersey, and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, according to a Democratic source familiar with the discussions.
Clinton also bypassed candidates who would have generated more excitement among liberal and Hispanic activists, including progressive favorite US Senator Elizabeth Warren and two Hispanic members of Obama's Cabinet, Julian Castro and Thomas Perez.
The former secretary of state will be formally nominated as the party's presidential candidate for the Nov 8 election at next week's Democratic convention in Philadelphia. She leads Trump in many opinion polls.
Clinton's choice of a running mate could give her campaign momentum heading into the convention, as the fight for the White House begins a more than three-month push to the finish.
Clinton, 68, acknowledged in an interview earlier this week that even Kaine admits he is boring, and said she did not mind.
“I love that about him,” she told Charlie Rose of CBS News and PBS. “He's never lost an election. He was a world-class mayor, governor and senator and is one of the most highly respected senators I know.”
A campaign official said Clinton was impressed with Kaine's down-to-earth style when she campaigned with him in Virginia last week. Afterwards, Kaine went back to her house in Washington, DC, for a 90-minute evening meeting.
Two days later, Kaine and his wife, Anne, joined Clinton in New York for lunch, along with Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, daughter Chelsea and Chelsea's husband. Kaine was the only vice presidential candidate to have a private family lunch during the vetting process, the official said.
Glad to see them
Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, who led the search, offered her advice. “It needs to be someone who whenever they walk into a room you are glad to see them and want to have them as part of any conversation,” the campaign official quoted Podesta telling her.
Kaine's first appearance with Clinton will be on Saturday at an event in Miami, a campaign aide said. “Just got off the phone with Hillary. I'm honored to be her running mate. Can't wait to hit the trail tomorrow in Miami,” Kaine said on Twitter.
Liberal groups, which had pressured Clinton not to pick Kaine because of his support for fast-track authority for the White House to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership, were dismayed by the choice. Critics of the Asia free-trade deal, including Trump and Clinton's Democratic primary rival Bernie Sanders, say it would be unfair to US workers and kill jobs.
Clinton praised the deal when she was secretary of state, but has since distanced herself from it.
“Republicans will run hard against Democrats on trade this year. Unfortunately, since Tim Kaine voted to fast-track the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Republicans now have a new opening to attack Democrats on this economic populist issue,” said Stephanie Taylor, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.
Hispanic activists also may be annoyed with the pick of Kaine given that Latino candidates were again passed over, though some Latino advocacy groups praised the choice.
“She has chosen a running mate that has a track record of advocating and fighting for the issues that affect the Latino community and our nation: immigration, healthcare, women's rights and the environment,” said Ben Monterroso, executive director of Mi Familia Vota.

Top Republicans were quick to criticize Clinton's choice.
The Trump campaign called Kaine “an ethically challenged insider” and called Clinton and Kaine a “Status Quo” ticket. “If you think Crooked Hillary and Corrupt Kaine are going to change anything in Washington, it's just the opposite,” campaign aide Jason Miller said in a statement.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus condemned the pick, saying Clinton spent the past week pandering to Sanders and grassroots Democrats, and now “has chosen someone who holds positions that she's spent the entire primary trying to get to the left of.” 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.
“Drawing a blank. Congrats to a good man and a good friend,” Flake said.
Kaine could help Clinton in Virginia, a heavily contested swing state, and choosing Kaine will not cost Democrats a seat in the Senate, where Republicans now hold a majority.
Virginia's Democratic governor, Terry McAuliffe, a close Clinton friend and ally, will name a replacement for Kaine if he and Clinton win the White House.
Some Democrats who know Kaine well dismissed fears that he lacks the toughness to stand up to Republican attacks, given how deftly Trump chewed up “low-energy” Jeb Bush and “little Marco” Rubio in the Republican primaries.
“It's not the Donald Trump sledgehammer. But he's not a shrinking violet,” said Luke Albee, a former chief of staff to Democrat Mark Warner, the senior U.S. senator from Virginia.
Albee, who has watched Kaine up close over the years, added, “I wouldn't mistake a thoughtful and genial disposition for an inability to really forcefully articulate differences.”
Kaine has good relations with senators from the opposing party, according to senior Senate Republican congressional aides. One aide speculated Kaine would be effective in reaching out to congressional Republicans if he becomes vice president, a role that Vice President Joe Biden has played for Obama.
Kaine, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees, has been a leading voice calling for a formal authorization of war against the Islamic State militant group.
He played an important role in securing congressional review of the 2015 international deal on Iran's nuclear program, although he eventually backed it.
He has a track-record of backing liberal causes such as ending across-the-board automatic budget cuts and providing a pathway to citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants.
Kaine, a Catholic who became fluent in Spanish speaker while serving as a missionary in Honduras, has expressed personal opposition to abortion, but has a public record in support of abortion rights.
ISLAMABAD: SSP Asher Hameed was found dead at his official residence, located within the heavily guarded Police Lines Headquarters, under unexplained circumstances on Friday, police said.
Hameed was recently surrendered to the Establishment Division by the Islamabad police, where he was working as an assistant inspector general of police (operations).
He was found dead by his cook Idrees, police said, who quoted him as saying: “I found him dead, lying on the floor along the bedside and bleeding from his nose,” Idrees told the police.
The SSP’s staff told the police that he used to leave Islamabad on Friday to visit his family in Lahore, but today, he came back to his residence to sleep.
The deceased was shifted to a hospital for medical procedures to establish the cause of death. The police, however, immediately declared the cause of death to be cardiac arrest. They said he had a history of cardiac problems and lost his elder brother to cardiac arrest some six months ago.
The deceased’s colleagues told Dawn he was in ninth place in the Common Training Programme 24, and while all of his batch mates were made DIGs, he had not been promoted.
“During the last month, differences erupted between him and the inspector general of police (IGP) Islamabad,” a colleague said, adding that he was surrendered to the Establishment Division and was being transferred to the Balochistan police.
Colleagues said his likely transfer to the Balochistan police had distressed him, and he was also aggrieved by the death of his elder brother.
The IGP’s spokesperson, Inspector Tahir Khan, confirmed that Hameed was surrendered to the Establishment Division by the IGP. He also said his family had a history of cardiac problems, as did he.
Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences former medico-legal officer, Dr Wasim Khawaja, said bleeding from the nose and mouth due to cardiac arrest was rare.
“Bleeding can only take place if the deceased has blood pressure, sugar or liver problems along with heart problems, but in this case the chances are also rare,” he said.
He said the possibility of a brain haemorrhage could not be ruled out in light of the bleeding, but added that an autopsy would determine the actual cause of death.
“A histopathology test will determine if the cause of death was a heart attack,” he said, and added that a complete autopsy would be required to ascertain the cause of death.
MUNICH: An 18-year-old German-Iranian gunman who apparently acted alone opened fire in a busy shopping mall in Munich on Friday evening, killing at least nine people in the third attack against civilians in western Europe in eight days.
The pistol-wielding attacker, identified by Munich Police Chief Hubertus Andrae as a dual national, was later found dead of a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head.
What we know
At least nine dead, say police
Gunman identified as German-Iranian
The gunman acted alone and then committed suicide
Several wounded being treated at nearby hospitals
Shoppers at mall targeted by the attacker
Police, citing eyewitness accounts, had initially said they were looking for up to three suspects in the shooting attack at the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre that sent shoppers fleeing in panic and shut traffic across the city.
But authorities told a news conference early on Saturday the shooter was believed to have staged the attack alone, opening fire in a fast food restaurant before moving on to the mall.
Sixteen people, including several children, were injured in the attack and three were in critical condition, Andrae said.

Police gave a “cautious all clear” early Saturday morning, more than seven hours after the gunman opened fire.
A video posted on social media appeared to show a man dressed in black walking away from a McDonald's restaurant while firing repeatedly on people as they fled screaming.
There was no known motive for the shooting in Germany's third largest city, which went into lockdown with transport halted and highways sealed off immediately after the attack. By early Saturday, transport services were running again, Munich police said.
It was the third major act of violence against civilians in western Europe in eight days. Previous attacks in France and Germany were claimed by the militant Islamic State (IS) group.

“The motives for this abhorrent act have not yet been completely clarified — we still have contradictory clues,” German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in a statement.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility so far.
US intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said initial reports from their German counterparts indicated no apparent link between the shooter and IS or other militant groups.
The gunman, whose body was found on a side street near the mall, was not identified by name but Andrae said he was not previously known to police.
The mall is next to the Munich Olympic stadium, where the Palestinian militant group Black September took 11 Israeli athletes hostage and eventually killed them during the 1972 Olympic Games.

Friday's attack took place a week after a 17-year-old asylum-seeker assaulted passengers on a German train with an axe. Bavarian police shot the teenager dead after he wounded four people from Hong Kong on the train and injured a local resident while fleeing.
The police chief said there were no immediate similarities between Friday's attack and the incident on the train near the southern German city of Wuerzburg.
Chancellor Angela Merkel will convene her security council on Saturday to address the deadly rampage in the European economic powerhouse which took in more than one million migrants and refugees last year.
“We are determined to do everything we can so that terror and inhuman violence stand no chance in Germany,” her chief of staff Peter Altmaier said.
Murderous attack
German President Joachim Gauck said he was “horrified” by the “murderous attack”, while Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, who was on a flight to New York when the shooting began, will return to Germany.
The shooting was a “disgusting terrorist attack” aimed at stirring up fear in Germany after France was targeted last week, French President Francois Hollande said.

“The terrorist attack that struck Munich killing many people is a disgusting act that aims to foment fear in Germany after other European countries,” Hollande said in a statement.
“Germany will resist, it can count on France's friendship and cooperation,” he said.
US President Barack Obama also voiced staunch support for America's close ally.
“Our hearts go out to those who may have been injured. It's still an active situation, and Germany's one of our closest allies, so we are going to pledge all the support that they may need in dealing with these circumstances,” Obama said.
Austria said it has “significantly” tightened security measures in states sharing a border with Germany and put its elite Cobra police force on high alert.
Hamza Ali Abbasi is known for his robust outbursts on social media, but it looks like Facebook is not having any of it.
The Pakistani actor's Facebook account has now been banned for three days following his post on Burhani Wani, a deceased separatist commander killed by Indian forces in Indian-held Kashmir.
Hamza Ali Abbasi's personal account on Facebook has been banned for three days.
The actor tweeted, "Banned again for 3 days. Now FB will tell us who is and isn't a terrorist."
Earlier his account was suspended by Facebook for touching upon the sensitive topic of the Kashmir seige. "It's absurd how the flag bearers of "Freedom of Speech" act in this way for raising a voice for victims of aggression," said Abbasi while speaking to Dawn.com.
