With a fresh surgical scar over the left eye to work in the Senate to back John McCain. Earlier, the Senator was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer, and he was forced to temporarily retire, to perform the surgery at home – in Arizona. But the interruption did not last long. Today, McCain again in the Senate. He took part in important to America voting on the continuation of the debate on the bill to repeal Obamacare.
By the way, the decision was made, but it was given to the Senate very difficult. The vote was split 50: 50. Decisive was the voice of Vice-President Mike Pence, who has supported the continuation of the debate.
And here I must say that if McCain did not come to a vote, another bill on the reform of the health system, in all probability, would have suffered resounding defeat. Perhaps that is why in his tweet, trump President personally thanked McCain and called him a true «American hero.»
So great that John McCain is coming back to vote. Brave American hero! Thank you John.
