Trump and McCain’s father, the late Sen. John McCain, were longtime rivals, dating back to well before Trump was elected president.
McCain promised viewers that she would publicly disclose whomever she votes for, but didn’t officially commit to ditching the Republican Party.
“It really shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to know there’s one man who has made pain in my life a living hell, and another man who has like literally shepherded me through the grief process. This really shouldn’t be rocket science for people,” McCain said.

Cohen simply responded, “Wow,” before asking if Biden would be the first Democrat that the McCain family has voted for. She said her parents were “old, old friends” with the Bidens.
“He’s been so integral in my life, especially since my dad got sick,” McCain said. “The Trumps are always making my mom cry… politics is personal, too.”
