Former President Barack Obama contrasted the character of former President Donald Trump with that of the late Sen. John McCain during a rally at the University of Arizona. Obama spoke kindly of McCain, highlighting his values and ability to reach across party lines. McCain famously defended Obama during the 2008 election, showing respect for his opponent. Obama criticized Trump for his behavior, including disrespectful remarks towards McCain. Trump’s comments about McCain being a “loser” and not a war hero sparked a new voting bloc of “McCain Republicans” in Arizona. Vice President Kamala Harris has also praised McCain, acknowledging his role in saving the Affordable Care Act. Obama credited McCain for preventing Trump from dismantling the healthcare law and praised his legacy. The rally in Arizona showcased the enduring impact of McCain’s values and the ongoing respect and admiration he receives from political figures across the aisle.
