McCain family to support Biden in 2020 race in bid to defeat Trump

The late Sen. John McCain's family plans to support former Vice President Joe Biden's White House bid, backing the Democrat not only in his party's crowded primary race but also in a general election matchup with President Trump, the Washington Examiner has learned.

In an extraordinary snub to Trump, who derided McCain's Vietnam War service and mocked him even after his death last August at age 81, the McCain family is preparing to break with the Republican Party. McCain represented the party in Congress for 35 years and was chosen as its presidential nominee in 2008, losing to Barack Obama.

Sources close to both Biden's presidential campaign and the McCains said that at some point during the White House race, McCain's widow Cindy, 64, and daughter Meghan, 34, a host on "The View," will offer their public support in the hope of removing Trump from office in 2020.

No shock. But in recent days, rumors going that Joe’s going to drop out. Maybe someone should ask if they will support Bernie now and go full socialist (McCain’s ultimate dream).

Possibly fake news, but not unexpected either.

The word “disgusting” is not even sufficient for this.

And with their track record of picking and backing winners, who wouldn’t want their support?
