Kaine: Haley's experience could 'serve her well' in Trump Cabinet

Sen. Tim Kaine, former running mate to Hillary Clinton, said Wednesday he believes South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has the experience necessary to fill the “challenging role” of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations after President-elect Trump announced earlier in the day his intention to nominate her.

“As a former governor, I believe that Governor Haley’s executive experience would serve her well in the challenging role of negotiating with all United Nations member states and representing the United States on the Security Council,” Kaine, the former governor of Virginia, said in a statement.
