Washington Says Goodbye to Legendary Sen. John McCain

Not many in Kenya, however, knew what a dignified human being Mr McCain, who was making a second stab at the White House race having lost to George W. Bush in 2000, was.

The maverick and conservative who was, at times, willing to take on his own party died Saturday at a time when tumult and uncertainty looms in both the nation’s capital and the Capitol and McCain’s brand of straight-talking politics seems nearly to be slipping away.

The decision is under close scrutiny in Washington. I ran against McCain.

“We are getting nothing done, my friends, we’re getting nothing done”, McCain said. McCain endured five years in captivity, an experience that later shaped his views, as a senator, on interrogation techniques.

US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, wrote on Twitter that “tonight we say goodbye to a true hero”.

It will conclude almost a week of events honouring the man, whose body will lie in state on Wednesday in the Arizona State Capitol and on Friday in the Capitol Rotunda, Washington DC, with a formal ceremony and time for the public to pay respects. But Cindy McCain’s politics are largely unknown. But Kyl already is tasked with shepherding the Kavanaugh nomination and Republicans may be loath to upend that process. But he is known for sharing McCain’s stances on immigration, which could be anathema to the state’s conservative voters.

Obama said the two political opponents “saw our political battles, even, as a privilege, something noble, an opportunity to serve as stewards of those high ideals at home, and to advance them around the world”.

Ward has acknowledged she is the underdog in Tuesday’s primary.

Co-host Anthony Mason asked, “One of his colleagues said yesterday we’re losing John McCain right when we need him the most, which may account for the extraordinary outpouring of affection from both sides [of the aisle]”.

Leahy said McCain was willing to defend “the Senate’s special and independent role in American government”. As McCain underwent treatment for brain cancer in recent months, Ducey avoided the topic out of respect for the family. McCain supporters and the senator’s daughter Meghan lacerated McSally for following the president’s lead in not mentioning McCain.

Just before 10 a.m. Monday, it was reported by the Huffington Post White House correspondent SV Date that the White House said it was following protocol, claiming the half-staff tradition is one and a half days, which is not how the 1954 proclamation reads.
