The McCain family, especially late John McCain’s daughter Meghan — a typically conservative Republican bunch — have been no holds barred when it comes to expressing their disdain for our current president. And who can blame them? Not only is Donald a massive smear on this country, but he’s also made things personal with the McCain family after repeatedly bullying the Senator even after his death.
Now it seems that their contempt for Trump will soon be leeching into their political stances, as a report from the Washington Examiner has just revealed that the McCain family intends to align with former Vice President Joe Biden in the Democratic presidential primary — which Biden reportedly intends to enter tomorrow.
As of right now, the McCain family is simply biding their time, trying to determine when would be the best time to announce their support — they reportedly do not want to hurt Biden’s chances with an announcement too early on in the race, considering their generally conservative stance.
A former McCain campaign official stated, “It’s undeniable that Joe Biden and the McCain family have a very close, personal relationship. It’s about what’s good for him [Biden].”
Another McCain family source said on the subject, “They talk regularly and have been supportive of his run,” the source said. “The question is going to be timing and coordinating with the Biden campaign. There are a lot of moving parts there and [Biden’s campaign is] not necessarily organized. I wouldn’t expect a formal family endorsement because some of McCain’s family is still in the military, but I do expect Cindy to speak out at some point.”
The Biden’s and McCain’s have been close friends for quite some time now, with their bond growing even stronger when John was diagnosed with cancer. Biden even delivered a eulogy at John’s funeral, with tears in his eyes stating, “My name’s Joe Biden. I’m a Democrat. And I loved John McCain.The way I look at it, the way I thought about it, was that I always thought of John as a brother. We had a hell of a lot of family fights. We go a long way.”
Whereas, in stark contrast, Meghan McCain spoke on Donald Trump’s appearance at the funeral stating, “I thought that my family had made it clear, or at least I had, that the Trumps are unwelcome around me and that my father had been sort of very clear about the line between the McCains and the Trumps.”
The feud between the Trump and McCain families is on the level of Hatfields and McCoys. And we’re sure that Trump will see this as a shot from the enemy — because it kind of is.
It’s pretty bad when even the staunchest of conservatives can’t support you anymore, Mr. President.
