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.

If that picture is from yesterday, he looks well enough to be at work instead of cutting out two days early to screw off in Arizona.
My point exactly.
He went to the trouble to say he supported the Tax Cut ten days ago to soften people’s feelings toward him at home. Then, when his vote may matter he makes a point of leaving Washington to show Trump that there is nothing he will ever do to assist a Trump Presidency.
The guy isn’t even an honorable foe — just a jerk, and beyond self-centered.
Okay, thanks for that info.
