| Paying respect to the former 2008 Republican nominee for president, John McCain. |
Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Joe Biden, NFL wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, Jeff Flake, Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham paid tribute to John McCain.
McCain is being buried today and his family and friends pay their respect to the Arizona senator who died of brain cancer. The McCain family includes his widow, Cindy and The View host Meghan McCain.
The funeral is livestream.
Gov. Doug Ducey will pick a replacement to succeed McCain until a special election. I assume that failed candidate Kelli Ward is hoping she becomes the senator.
Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) and Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) will square off for the seat being vacated by Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ).
Flake already endorsed McSally. Had it been Ward, he might have supported Sinema.
Flake praised McCain for being a voice of Arizonans and decency. He also praised both McSally and Sinema for becoming a historical first. Both women could end up being the first female senator representing Arizona.
McCain's funeral is on.
