A two-hour commute turned into a nearly 27-hour ordeal for Sen. Kaine, who was one of the unlucky drivers trapped on I-95 in Virginia.
“I once did it on my bicycle, and it took me 13 hours. I’d gladly do the bike trip again, and I would never want to do this again," he said."And it was 26 hours, and the only thing I ate was one orange, and the only liquid I had was one 16-ounce Dr Pepper.”
Kaine was one of hundreds of drivers trapped in freezing temperatures on a 50-mile stretch of I-95 after a crash involving multiple vehicles brought traffic to a standstill and thein the 2016 presidential campaign, said earlier in the day that his office had been in touch with the state Department of Transportation"to see how we can help other Virginians in this situation." But hours later, he still hadn't moved.
“I probably had about 10 voting rights calls in the car," Kaine said."I would rather have done them in person, but I wasn’t going to not do them.”"A CT family returning in a packed car from Florida walked by in the middle of the night handing out oranges as we were stopped for hours on I-95. Bless them!" Kaine tweeted.
