McCain: I may write in Lindsey Graham for president

During an Arizona Senate debate Monday night, Sen. John McCain (R) was asked who he’ll vote for in the presidential contest.

"I might write in Lindsey Graham," said the Arizona senator, who is running for reelection against Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick.

At Monday’s Senate debate, McCain was confronted about his prior support of the GOP presidential nominee and asked why the senator waited until now to retract his endorsement. "It's not pleasant for me to renounce nominee of my party," McCain said Monday. "I have daughters." But Kirkpatrick pushed back.

"He's been trying to run from Trump's disparaging remarks for a year, while endorsing him 60 times,” Kirkpatrick said Monday.

But, I will just say....
I think I'm very glad that these two republican senators have such a close and special relationship.
