Cindy McCain endorses Biden for president in rebuke of Trump

PHOENIX (AP) Cindy McCain endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president Tuesday in a rebuke of President Donald Trump by the widow of the GOPs 2008 nominee.
Trump has had a fraught relationship with members of John McCains family since he disparaged the Arizona senator during his 2016 campaign. But the McCains have until now stopped short of endorsing Trumps rivals.
Cindy McCain cited the decadeslong friendship between her family and Bidens and their bond as the parents of children serving in the military.
He supports the troops and knows what it means for someone who has served, McCain said in a phone interview. Not only to love someone who has served, but understands what it means to send a child into combat. Weve been great friends for many years, but we have a common thread in that we are Blue Star families.
