Trump mixes up Va. Sen. Tim Kaine and N.J. Gov. Tom Kean

MIAMI (AP) — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took a shot Wednesday at Hillary Clinton's running mate, Democratic U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, for doing a terrible job as governor of New Jersey.

The problem, of course, is that Kaine was governor of Virginia.

"Her running mate, Tim Kaine, who by the way, did a terrible job in New Jersey," Trump said at a news conference in Miami. "He was not very popular in New Jersey, and he still isn't."

Trump might have confused Kaine with former Republican New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean, pronounced the same as Kaine.
