Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has endorsed longtime family friend and Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe.

Endorsing McAuliffe, Clinton said that he would be a '24/7' governor who eschews partisan warfare in favor of problem-solving.

Clinton took the stage in Falls Church, Virginia, to praise McAuliffe, who was the co-chair of her 2008 presidential bid and a former key fundraiser for her husband, former President Clinton, during his time in public office.

According to CBS News, she said that McAuliffe has maybe the biggest heart and the most open mind of anyone you'll ever meet, adding that 'he has always been there for me, and I'm pleased to be here for him'.

Clinton said that McAuliffe's conciliatory style should distinguish him from the viper's nest next door in Washington.
