Meghan McCain offered plaudits to Joe Biden during the third Democratic presidential debate, saying he was needed to “heal” and “change” the country.
“Joe Biden is the grief whisperer – he both understands and communicates the struggle pain unlike any other person I’ve ever met. A leader who understands raw pain and knows how to heal it would be a welcome and needed change in our country,” McCain wrote.

The comment came during the end of the third presidential debate, in which the former vice president mentioned the death of his wife.
McCain, 34, has been open about her grief following the death of her father last year, the late Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain.
Sources close to the McCain family told the Washington Examiner that they plan on endorsing Biden for president at some point. Cindy McCain, the widow of John McCain, denied the report. Meghan McCain said in a July interview that it would be “very tough” not to endorse Biden.
