The family of longtime Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, said Friday that he has chosen to discontinue medical treatment for brain cancer.

"Last summer, Senator John McCain shared with Americans the news our family already knew: he had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma, and the prognosis was serious. In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment. Our family is immensely grateful for the support and kindness of all his caregivers over the last year, and for the continuing outpouring of concern and affection from John's many friends and associates, and the many thousands of people who are keeping him in their prayers. God bless and thank you all," the family said in a statement.

This story is developing, please check back for updates.

Will he be resigning from his Senate seat, so he can be replaced and the people of Arizona can be properly represented, or does he intend to die in office?

His death will probably be announced within a few days, if not hours.

Not until after the AZ primary.
The Governor does not want to be booted from office for appointing Meghan.

Senator McConnell says how we are all lucky to have Senator McCain as our friend and on our side.

OH NO WE’RE NOT!!!!

Let’s not forget, it was McCain that delivered the fictional dossier to the Senate.

Lord how this man hated us, every one of us.

I’ll shut up now or might get in trouble.
