Meghan McCain Says She Voted For Her Late Father, John McCain, In The 2024 Election
HuffPost
The former “View” co-host said she felt she couldn’t support Trump or Harris — and wrote in a surprising choice instead.
Meghan McCain, who pledged not to support either Vice President Kamala Harris or President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election, said this week that she instead cast a vote for her father, the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), for president.
The Republican commentator and former “View” co-host made the revelation during an appearance on Katie Couric’s “Next Question” podcast this week.
“I wrote in my dad. Is that cliché?” she explained. “People are so mad at me, Katie ― mad that I didn’t vote either way. And I was like, I have such Christian guilt at night, and I don’t want anything on my conscience with any of it. And I just can never vote for Trump. I can’t do it. I could never explain it to my children.”
As for her decision not to vote for Harris, McCain said it came down to matters of “policy.”
“I really wanted her to give me a reason to vote for her, and I just felt like it never happened, and there were some questions that she just couldn’t answer,” she told Couric. “And look, I’m a pro-life, pretty hardcore conservative woman, and Governor [Tim] Walz was way too extreme for me. He actually scared me a lot more than she did. He’s very radical on abortion and his record during 2020, George Floyd protests in Minneapolis. And I felt like he was cosplaying as a Republican to try and get my vote.”
