In an effort to appeal to Latino voters to swing the US state of Arizona for the Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, the Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine is all set to hold a rally entirely in Spanish in Phoenix, this week.

After spending time as a missionary in Honduras, Kaine speaks fluent Spanish. As a part to compete in a states traditionally won by the Republicans, he will visit Phoenix on Thursday. Kaine is also scheduled to take part in a  get-out-the-vote event in Tucson.

Kaine, a senator from Virginia, said that, "That's been one of the most fun parts of the campaign, to be able to do Spanish-language radio, TV, newspapers and also just to go to places and just interact with people that way."

The first lady Michelle Obama and Clinton's former party rival Vermont Senator  Bernie Sanders appeared in Arizona on Clinton's behalf.

The Associated Press reported, Since Kaine join the ticket, he has done nearly 50 interviews in Spanish.
