It's been over a decade since the late Senator John McCain (R-AZ) ran against then-candidate and Senator Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election.

That election saw the early rumblings of the Tea Party, the fringe whose anger and vitriol would become emblematic of the Republican party by the time Obama's two terms as President were over.


Few could have guessed in 2008 that 12 years later, McCain's daughter—political analyst and The Viewcohost Meghan McCain—would post a Twitter thread heaping support upon the Vice Presidential pick of the ticket that ran against her father.

McCain lauded former Vice President and presumptive 2020 Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden in a series of tweets praising his empathy.



McCain was responding to a piece by former Buttigieg campaign official Lis Smith about how Biden's empathy is a direct contrast to current President Donald Trump.

McCain retweeted a moment mentioned in the article: when Biden consoled McCain after her father was diagnosed with the same cancer that took the life of Biden's son, Beau.

Others praised Biden's empathy as well, especially in contrast to Trump.




Trump's capacity for empathy routinely comes up short—especially with nearly 80 thousand Americans dead of a virus whose threat he dismissed.




November is fast approaching. Are you registered to vote?

Biden's book about dealing with grief after the loss of his son, Promise Me, Dad, is available here.

The mass exodus to RedNote, China's answer to Instagram, comes in advance of the potential ban of TikTok in the U.S. prompted by increased national security concerns about users' data being compromised and vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

Coca-Cola Blasted After Honoring Trump With Personalized Diet Coke Bottle For His Inauguration

The Coca-Cola company was widely criticized after James Quincey, its Chairman and CEO, presented President-elect Donald Trump with a Diet Coke bottle commemorating his upcoming inauguration.

The label on the bottle displayed Trump’s name, the date of his anticipated second inauguration, and an image of the White House. Trump is known to be a big fan of Diet Coke—he reportedly drinks 12 bottles per day—and he had an Oval Office button that aided in the delivery of the soda during his first presidency.
