For the first time in 25 years, the International Republican Institute will have a new leader. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who is battling brain cancer, has decided to step down from his role as chairman of the board of the organization, which for decades he has helped to fight for democracy, freedom, civil society, the rule of law and human rights around the world.
McCains handoff to IRIs next chairman, Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), is not a signal that McCains health is declining. In fact, several McCain associates say his condition hasnt changed in recent months and he remains actively involved in his Senate work from his home near Sedona, Ariz. But McCain felt an obligation to help usher in an orderly transition at IRI, to ensure the long-term health and strength of the organization.
McCain recommended Sullivan to succeed him as chairman and his former foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann to replace former congressman Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) as vice chairman in a July 24 letter to the board. New board members will also include Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R), who is expected to be elected the next junior senator from Utah in November.

“Im beginning to think its possible that McCain is not dying, but hiding.”
You are not alone. Everything in the man’s history is potemkin village.
He’s not even given a video interview or uploaded a YouTube.
If he wanted to ‘pass the torch’ then a democrat would have been more suitable.
No, he is not even seen in AZ! The only pics one will see in local media is of his backside sitting on a bench!
“Worthless t*rd, stupid, non-achiever, and not a very good pilot in the Navy.”
You forgot Traitor or Enemy Propagandist.
I thought for sure the jerk wanted to be buried with that torch.... still lit.
Look at those new board members—yuck!
Nothing but...
BULL SH**
FAIRY TALES
FAKE NEWS
LIES...
McCain is more than likely on life support waiting for the perfect time to pull the plug...JMO...but bet I’m right...
NO VIDEOS, NO PHOTOS, NO SIGHTING since he left last Dec...He has a birthday #82 the end of Aug...Maybe that is what they are waiting on...
ONE DAY THE TRUTH SHALL BE MADE KNOWN...
Name rings a bell....an instructor in my Pilot Training Flight was from Arizona, Capt Scheunemann.
His ANG unit had a boo-boo on their record. His unit, NMANG (F-100) shot down a B-52 with a “Sidewinder” missile.
Probably no relation to the person McCain appointed to be his replacement. But, who knows? McCain had a few Navy birds killed, to his credit.
Otherwise, the appointees on the IRI scare the hell out of me. “Never Trumpers” all.
"John McCain ... Torch..es ... Republican..s"
He only needs to go away.
