Hillary Clinton’s running mate, Tim Kaine, delivered a campaign speech entirely in Spanish at a rally in Phoenix Tuesday.
{mosads}The speech was first of its kind, the campaign said, and was geared toward a growing Latino population in the traditionally Republican state.
During his speech, Kaine said that he felt it was important to reach out to the Hispanic community in their native language.
“With so much at stake for the Hispanic community, it just makes sense to make the case for our campaign in a language that’s spoken by so many families across the country,” he said, according to translated prepared remarks.
