AlterNetThe McCain clan will back Biden in a crowded Democratic field, and if he wins the Democratic nomination in a race against President Donald Trump. The McCain family has well-documented feud with the president, who once said he doesnt consider McCain, a Vietnam War veteran, a hero. Trump even mocked the former Republican candidate for president after his death last year.
Per the Washington Examiner:
Sources close to both Bidens presidential campaign and the McCains said that at some point during the White House race, McCains widow Cindy, 64, and daughter Meghan, 34, a host on The View, will offer their public support in the hope of removing Trump from office in 2020.
This should be fun...

(17,972 posts)Joe spent time on the Ranch with John when he was undergoing treatment.
Remember him consoling Meghan? A man of deep feelings and understanding.
Wonder how many other decent Republicans will do the same?

(2,412 posts)I hope we would not elect a candidate who voted for and advocated for The War on Iraq. We just cant afford it anymore with our people so needy. We have 140 million poor people in the US they should come first!

(38 posts)I get the distinct impression that the Washington Examiner is trying to deep-six Biden among Democratic primary voters. The paper is very, very Pro-Trump. I've seen them play up the Charlottesville kick-off angle, Biden being wary of gays serving in the government in the early 70s, this McCain story, and a couple of others that have escaped me.
They know these stories will make it out to the progressive left and hope to smother Biden's campaign in the crib. I can only assume this an indicator of how afraid they are of him.

Joe Biden is a wonderful man and dear friend of the McCain Family. However, I have no intention of getting involved in presidential politics.

(12,448 posts)I'm still in Twitter jail so I won't get to see Trump's meltdown. This shouldn't be a surprise to him; he's done nothing but whine about McCain before and after his death. But I'm guessing he'll be furious at McCain's family and he'll add them to his extensive and growing enemies list.

(9,580 posts)Who else would they be likely to support? I'm sure Joe welcomes it. And while I'm not going to support him in this race (for me, it's age, and time for a new era) I'm glad he has their support. Love Joe.
