The widow of former Republican Senator John McCain has spoken out in favor of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
“There is only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation and that is Joe Biden,” Cindy McCain tweeted Tuesday night (local time). For her husband, who died in 2018, the country always came first. “We are Republicans, yes, but mostly American,” McCain continued.
At the US Democratic Party conference in mid-August, the 66-year-old spoke about the unusual friendship between her husband and presidential candidate Joe Biden. The two served together in the Senate for decades before Biden took over as vice president under Barack Obama in 2009.
“Joe and I don’t always agree, and I know he and John have had some passionate discussions,” wrote Cindy McCain. But Biden is a good and honest man and he will run the country with dignity.
He responded in a tweet, “I am deeply honored to have your support and friendship. This election is bigger than that of any political party. “
The relationship between McCain and President Donald Trump was deemed strained. John McCain was one of the main internal critics of Trump’s party, who is running for re-election in early November. He had spoken disparagingly about the senator several times. (aeg / sda / dpa)
