Former VP Joe Biden Comfort Meghan McCain on ‘The View’

Biden then emphasized the importance of hope and his friendship with John McCain:

“So there is hope. And if anybody can make it, (it’s) your dad. [Your] dad is one of my best friends. We were like two brothers who were somehow raised by different fathers because of our different points of views. Even when your dad got mad at me and said I should get the hell off the ticket!”

Shortly afterwards, John McCain tweeted out his appreciation to Biden for comforting his daughter:

Thank you @JoeBiden & the entire Biden family for serving as an example & source of strength for my own family. https://t.co/qmmw5rjdUj
