McCain family to support Biden in 2020 race in bid to defeat Trump

The late Sen. John McCain's family plans to support former Vice President Joe Biden's White House bid, backing the Democrat not only in his party's crowded primary race but also in a general election matchup with President Trump, the Washington Examiner has learned.

In an extraordinary snub to Trump, who derided McCain's Vietnam War service and mocked him even after his death last August at age 81, the McCain family is preparing to break with the Republican Party. McCain represented the party in Congress for 35 years and was chosen as its presidential nominee in 2008, losing to Barack Obama.

Sources close to both Biden's presidential campaign and the McCains said that at some point during the White House race, McCain's 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.

Okay, so Biden gets anywhere from 2 to 100 votes more than he would have.

Why is this news?

The story has been denied by Cindy McCain.
She says Joe Biden is a friend, but she’s not getting involved in the presidential election.


Word games.

Cindy said she has “no intention” of getting involved.

Hillary had no intention of running, but ran anyway.

Then Meghan retweets that nothing has been communicated “AT THIS POINT.”

And law enforcement denied Cindy McCain ever contacted them. It was all a lie.

Sounds right! The family of John McCain voting for the democrat and the democratic agenda and completely rejecting the Republican platform follows what that little sneak did when he was still alive. He was a complete traitor to the Republican party. He voted like Hillary Clinton would.

Yes! This is another sign that we are winning the party back from the globalist neo-cons. The McCains are moving to their natural home in the Democrat Party. I hope they leave us alone permanently.

A McCain “Family Endorsement”.... probably worth about 3-4 of their own votes.

Thanks for PROVING to the world that you are all vicious Democrats!!

That was my immediate thought too. They better never ever claim to be republicans again. Just dem trash regardless of how wealthy they may be. Trash is trash.

I’ll bet that the McCain clan would vote for Bernie Sanders. The whole family is dead to me.
