Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine spoke Spanish and played the harmonica on a Spanish language show Monday morning.
The visit by Kaine, who is fluent in Spanish after spending time as a missionary in Honduras, was the first major White House candidate on a Spanish-language only show. Kaine’s running mate, Hillary Clinton, maintains healthy leads among Hispanic voters compared to Donald Trump.
