The late Senator John McCain’s family will support former Vice President Joe Biden as he plans to officially announce his candidacy for the 2020 election on April 25, the Washington Examiner reported. But Cindy McCain put out a statement on Twitter saying that she would not get involved in the campaign: “Joe Biden is a wonderful man and dear friend of the McCain Family. However, I have no intention of getting involved in presidential politics.”
The news should not come as a surprise considering the personal conflict that was dramatized during the 2016 election between Donald Trump and the Republican establishment, personified in a way by John McCain. Best known for representing the Republicans in their loss against Obama in 2008, McCain served in Congress for 35 years and before that in the military during the Vietnam War. McCain passed away in August 2018. His family purposefully did not invite Trump to the funeral, unlike the Bush family’s funeral observance, a few months later in December 2018.
