Trump Phones McCain’s Wife As He Was Hospitalized For A Totally Unexpected Reason

Tident Trump called to check on Senator John McCain’s condition with his wife, Cindy McCain, Friday afternoon by telephone. Senator McCain, 81, has been battling brain cancer for months now and has been hospitalized this week on Wednesday.  “Senator McCain is currently receiving treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center for normal side effects of his ongoing cancer therapy,” his office said. “As ever, he remains grateful to his physicians for their excellent care, and his friends and supporters for their encouragement and good wishes. Senator McCain looks forward to returning to work as soon as possible.”  Despite the hospitalization of the Arizona Senator, McCain’s Republican colleagues expressed optimism that he will be able to make the expected votes on the tax overhaul next week. Senators must be physically present on the Senate floor to cast votes.  “Of course we all wish for Sen. McCain to have a great health for as long as possible,” Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said Friday on Fox News. “My sense is that everybody’s made a commitment to be there next week. And we will certainly be able to have the vote. Our prayers go to him and his family.”
