Tim Kaine, former Virginia governor and chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is increasingly likely to run for U.S. Senate next year, his spokesman said Monday.

“No final decision will be made or announced until the governor has had a final round of consultations with folks about how he can best serve the president, the people and the causes he cares about; he is assured that the Democratic Party will be in good hands should he choose to make the race and leave the DNC,’’ spokesman Brad Woodhouse said. “He has the support that would be necessary to mount a successful campaign and he completes commitments for travel and fundraising he has made to the party and the president through at least the end of the month.”
