In January 2005, a few weeks before his term ended, McAuliffe earmarked $5 million of the party’s cash to assist Tim Kaine and other Virginia Democrats in their upcoming elections. This donation was the largest non-presidential disbursement in DNC history, and was part of McAuliffe’s attempt to prove Democratic viability in Southern states in the wake of the 2004 presidential election.[37] Kaine was successful in his bid, and served as the Governor of Virginia from 2006 to 2010.
Post-DNC chairmanship[edit] McAuliffe was co-chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign,[38] and was one of her superdelegates at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.[39]
