Sen. John McCain joined the growing chorus on Saturday of high-profile Republicans withdrawing support for Donald Trump.

The Arizona senator said in a statement that both he and his wife, Cindy McCain, will not be voting for Trump in the wake of lewd comments he made in a 2005 videotape.

“I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton,” McCain said. “We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.”
