VIUDA DE MCCAIN BENDICE AL BIDEN.
Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Republican senator
John McCain, released a statement congratulating
Joe Biden on his victory in the presidential election and in Arizona specifically.
“I am so proud of the voters in Arizona. We turned out in record numbers, through vote by mail, same day drop off ballots and voting in person on Election Day,” McCain said.
McCain, who endorsed Biden’s presidential bid, specifically pushed back against
Donald Trump and his allies’ baseless claims of election fraud in Arizona.
“This was a hard fought election but now that the votes are counted, it is time to do the work of uniting our state and our country. Arizona has a long history of conducting its elections honestly and with integrity, and 2020 was no exception. Arizonans should not be trying to cast doubt on the legitimate outcome of this race,” McCain said.
McCain expressed empathy with those mourning Trump’s loss, but she cited her husband’s concession to
Barack Obama in 2008 as an example of the path forward.
“I remember John’s example in 2008 of accepting the decision of the voters and moving on to the next challenge,” McCain said. “So I hope all Arizonans and Americans will join me in congratulating President-elect
Joe Biden and Vice-President-elect
Kamala Harris.”
