On one of the first foreign trips I took with John McCain, he handed me his comb and asked me to straighten out his hair. That is a powerful example for all of us, including President Trump, who has continued to attack McCain seven months after his death. But I can tell you, because I talked to him about it, that he didn’t vote that way to spite Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) or anyone else. Trump, because he is president, has the greatest capacity to move our government in the direction McCain appealed for that day and that most Americans clearly want. And I also pray Democrats respond to Trump in good faith and with the national interest as their guiding light, which it consistently was for McCain.
