Sen. Tim Kaine announced Thursday that he will not seek the Democratic nomination for president in 2020 and plans to run for re-election to his Senate seat in 2018.
The 2016 Democratic vice presidential nominee and Virginia lawmaker made the revelation in an interview with the Associated Press on Thursday, which came out one day after he returned to the Senate. “Period. Full stop,” Kaine said about his decision not to run in 2020. According to the interview, Kaine said that he would like to serve in the Senate as long as he is able and his wife, Anne Holton, allows.
