Praising Joe Biden as a longtime family friend and an ally to military families like hers, Cindy McCain, the woman Republicans wanted to make first lady in 2008, is endorsing the Democratic presidential nominee.

McCain on Tuesday avoided directly criticizing President Donald Trump, who had a stormy rivalry with her husband, the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that lingered even after his death in 2018.

Her endorsement comes just weeks before Arizonans are set to begin voting and after anonymous sources claimed to The Atlantic that Trump ridiculed McCain and others in the military throughout his term in office.

McCain declined to speak about the impact she believes Trump would have on the nation, and globally, should he win a second term.

1. While this is good why is it being reported like it's new

she endorsed him long time ago.

2. No, she didn't officially endorse him previously

5. Well not explicitly previously. She endorsed him IMPLICITLY at the Dem convention when she did the

video about her husband's friendship with Biden, though i do think his slip of the tongue forced her into giving the explicit endorsement now. Either way it's a great endorsement given John Mccain's popularity among Republicans, and his wife is a reminder of his legacy.

8. At the time she specifically told reporters it wasn't an endorsement. So this is news. nt

9. Hmm that i did not hear &it doesn't quite make sense

Why would she do a video of her husband &Joe's friendship if it wasn't to endorse him? Anyway its all good she has now done it.

10. It made sense to her because she still considered herself a Republican.

She apparently got over her concerns about disloyalty to her party when Trump called military people suckers and losers.

4. Now have a little talk with your daughter, Megan.

Maybe she'll stop her rants on The View...

7. i cannot watch the girl and her i'm-trying-to-be-knowledgeable-take-me-seriously facial expressions

I used to love the View but can only stomach certain hosts. Ana Navarro i can. She is genuine & articulates well the problem w the current GOP, not to mention she hates the Con.

6. So when will His Lardship fart out a nasty tweet about Cindy McCain?

By morning, I'd guess, if he hasn't already.
