John McCain, Senator And Former Republican Presidential Nominee, Dies
Arizona Sen. John McCain, a former Republican presidential nominee and a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War, died on Saturday. He was 81.
McCain, who had a history of skin cancer, was diagnosed with brain cancer in July 2017 after a routine physical revealed a blood clot over his left eye.
He had surgery to remove the clot, which doctors then determined was the result of an aggressive tumor called a glioblastoma.
Earlier this week, McCain decided to discontinue his cancer treatment.
His family announced his death in a statement late Saturday.
Tributes poured in from both sides of the aisle, including from President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama. The White House lowered its flag to half staff in honor of the late senator.
