His daughter Meghan also tweeted, “My family is deeply appreciative of all the love and generosity you have shown us during this past year. Thank you for all your continued support and prayers. We could not have made it this far without you — you’ve given us strength to carry on.”
McCain is Known as the “Maverick” in the Senate
Throughout his career in the Senate, McCain has established a reputation as a “maverick.” As a senator, he is not afraid to speak or vote against his party if he believes a policy is not in the best interest of the country.
Last year, McCain voted against the GOP’s effort to repeal Obamacare. He maintained his position that a health care reform legislation must be a product of a regular order in the Senate. He believes that is the “only way to achieve a bipartisan consensus on lasting reform.”
In March, he defended Special Counsel Robert Mueller amid speculations that President Donald Trump was preparing to fire him. He emphasized that Mueller served his country with honesty and integrity.
