DNC Chair Says America Is Now Half Blue, Half Red

By Kyle LaFleur

Former Virginia Governor and Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine addressed reporters at DNC Headquarters briefly during election night to show his optimism for the Democrats’ chances.

“Once the West Virginia and Connecticut races tipped our way, it made it very difficult for [Republicans],” Kaine said while touting the fact that only a few months ago many, believed the Democrats would lose both houses.  

The Chairman said he took Democrat Rick Boucher’s loss in his Virginia congressional race personally and that now that state can be seen as a microcosm of the entire nation. 

“Maybe it is a message from the American public,” Kaine said. “We got a Democrat in the White House. We’ll have maybe a majority of Republican governors. We’ll have a Democratic Senate and a Republican House. Everybody’s got to to work together and thats what I know the President will focus on.”
