John McCain Dies At Age 81

John McCain, who was an independent voice in the Republican Party and our 2008 presidential nominee, has passed away today!

McCain was told only a little more than a year ago that he had brain cancer. He was 81.

McCain’s office said in a statement “Senator John Sidney McCain III died at 4:28 p.m. on August 25, 2018.”

The former 2008 Presidential candidate announced on July 19, 2017, that he had been diagnosed with a glioblastoma, which is an aggressive type of brain tumor.

Just yesterday his family announced that he was discontinuing treatment for the tumor!

Our condolences go out to his family and friends during this time of loss!
