FULL INTERVIEW: Cindy McCain speaks with FOX 9 about Biden support
Cindy McCain, the wife of late Republican Senator John McCain, broke with her husband's party last month to announce she would support Democrat Joe Biden in the presidential election.
"What I remind them is that right now we need to do this for our country," explained McCain. "Healthcare is a huge issue for women. Particular dealing with families the way that we have to. So, I think that you’ll find not only a willing listener on the other side but someone who is not going to take your healthcare away from you that simply isn’t going to happen. It’s not."
"And also, education," she added. "The kinds of things that drive our schools, our universities, it’s time that we have leadership within the White House that is helpful and not harmful to the educational system. And of course most of all the pandemic. It’s destroyed our lives. It’s destroyed our families and it is real."
Mrs. McCain also believes this race is a lot closer than the polls are indicating. She is urging people to vote no matter what.
If Biden wins in November, McCain is set to join his transition advisory team.
