Clinton focused on deficit with white men in VP search: report

Hillary Clinton’s deficit with white male voters factored into her campaign’s vice presidential search, the New York Times reported Saturday.

Clinton on Friday selected Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) as her running mate.

With that criteria in mind, the former secretary of State reportedly focused on Kaine, Agricultural Secretary Tom Vilsack and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.

Clinton announced her pick Friday night in a tweet and a text message to supporters.
