Biden: McCain would disapprove of today’s GOP.

President Biden Suggests Late Senator McCain Would Be Disappointed with Current Republican Party

President Joe Biden expressed his belief on Thursday that the late Senator John McCain would be disappointed with the current state of the Republican Party. Biden, known for his optimistic approach to unity, often emphasizes that while he can find common ground with some Republicans, the majority of the GOP, loyal to former President Donald Trump, poses a threat to democracy.

Biden humorously refers to the “ultra MAGA” faction of the Republican Party as “not your father’s Republican Party,” and he reiterated this sentiment during an interview with MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace.

“I don’t think he’d think much of it,” Biden responded when asked by Wallace what McCain would think of the current Republican Party. However, he acknowledged that he couldn’t speak for McCain’s thoughts.

“We can’t speak for him, obviously,” Wallace added, “but he was so strong in articulating what you just did” in reference to the president’s criticism of the “ultra MAGA” wing.

Biden shared a personal anecdote about his relationship with McCain, saying, “When I went out to see him when he was dying at his home in Arizona, he asked me going out — he said, ‘Joe, would you do my eulogy?’ It was one of the greatest honors that I’ve had. Remember he started working with me when he came back from being a prisoner of war, and I helped talk him into running. We used to argue like hell, but like brothers, we’d end up hugging one another.”

The president also expressed his disappointment with how the legacy of McCain was treated by the previous administration and even his close friend, Lindsey Graham.

“Come on. This guy was a hero,” Biden exclaimed. “We may disagree, but he was completely, thoroughly an honorable man.”
