Vance downplays bad blood with McCain family at Arizona rally

Published



Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) downplayed the long-running feud between former President Donald Trump and the McCain family, arguing the late Sen. John McCain would not have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris like his son did this week.

Speaking to voters in Arizona, where the McCains are a household name, Vance acknowledged Trump’s turbulent relationship with McCain, a centrist Republican who died of brain cancer in 2018. But he claimed the two “didn’t let their personal grievances get in the way of serving the country.”
