For additional context, you may wish to read this NewsHour article. Summary: Sen. John McCain, Republican leader and and two-time presidential candidate, died at his home in Arizona on August 25, 2018. He was 81. McCain’s legacy of public service and commitment to values made him one of the most influential lawmakers of this generation. His heroic military service, foreign policy knowledge and occasional aversion to party politics also gave him his “maverick” reputation. McCain’s determination to do what he saw as right made him a contentious figure at times, even among members of his own party, including his vote to not repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare. He later voted for the Trump administration’s tax cuts, which eliminated the ACA’s individual mandate, drawing criticism from many Democrats. McCain, the son and grandson of two navy admirals, served in the Vietnam where he was imprisoned for five and half years, refusing an early release by the Vietnamese given his family’s military status.
