Sen. John McCain headed back to Arizona today and will miss the tax reform vote this week.
Meghan McCain's new husband, The Federalist's Ben Domenech gave an update on the senator's condition after the longtime Arizona senator was hospitalized earlier this week.
'Well, John, I'm happy to say that he's doing well,' Domenech answered Face the Nation host John Dickerson, who had asked about the Republican lawmaker. 'He's in good spirits. And he's looking forward to heading back home in Arizona for the holidays.'
CBS News later reported that McCain is heading directly to Arizona and miss key votes on the Republican tax package, which will take place next week.
McCain's absence shouldn't derail the package, despite the slim GOP majority in the Senate, as Sens. Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican, and Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, have said they would vote in favor of the bill after, at first, suggesting they wouldn't.

Cynical, but probably realistic.
He’s always doing the unexpected.
Instead, he obviously plans to remain a "maverick" and die in the saddle with his (surgical) boot on.
GEE! I’m sorry to learn he’s doing well......
I’m going to resist the temptation to badmouth McCain when he’s dying, it’s just not right. We’re supposed to be better than that.
I do think ailing elected officials should resign and concentrate on being with their families in the last days.
Exactly so. He truly is "doing well" and "in good spirits" because in his black heart he knows this action is screwing Trump.
He’s a vegetable, Jim.
If I remember correctly, Ben Domenech has been an uber NeverTrumper. Good match for that fambly.
If he’s doing SO great he should VOTE but he won’t cause he wants to destroy Trump
McCain: please pass away
Why are they sugarcoating this?
I presume that if he is buried there it will smell like urine around his grave.
I think he is done. Medicated to the end.
FUJM!
(for crying out loud do I have to do everything around here)
Meghasaur would have never married him if he supported Trump.
She is on board the Cheap Labor Express just like dear old doddering dad.
Not cowardice. Just sheer ego.
It is unclear when McCain might return to Washington.
Neva hoppen, GI. He go home to die.
Do we still have an over-under date? And where can I get into the pool? I was looking at middle of February, but that may be highly optimistic. First or second week of January, now.
As there is a Constitutional lower age limit for Representatives, Senators, and President, maybe it is time to add an upper age limit.
Right..
He is not doing well or you would have seen him leave the hospital..media was STOPPED...
And all family will tell FAIRY TALES TO COVER FOR HIS REAL CONDITION, WHICH I WOULD GUESS TO BE ....VERY GRAVE.
He must set the Seat Free
