Back in a couple of months, Cindy McCain, an American businesswoman, publicly endorsed Joe Biden in the 3 November 2020's Presidential race. She was one of Biden's supporters who had legitimate reasons for endorsing Biden rather than Donald Trump.
A few days ago, McCain explained why she voted for Joe Biden this year. It was the first time she voted a Democrat in her life. While the state’s 11 electoral votes, she mentioned, 'I knew I had to get involved, I knew I had enough. And the final blow was with the ‘losers and suckers’ thing.'
History suggests that Cindy McCain remained silent throughout the years while Donald Trump reluctantly attacked her late husband, John McCain, a former United States Senator for Arizona. Trump came as a firebreather with a series of tweets and insults after John's death. The support of Cindy McCain could be assumed back in the time of the Democratic National Convention, where she celebrated a bipartisan friendship of her late husband and Biden.
Moreover, Cindy McCain publicly spoke against Trump's dismissive comments about fallen soldiers. She mentioned, 'I thought, ‘My God, how could somebody say something like this about our young people who are willing to fight and die for this country without being asked?.'
'And somehow he thought that they were losers and suckers. And I’d listened to the rants against the Gold Star families, and each blow was a little worse than the last. That was all it took for me,' she added.
