Joe Biden Comforts Meghan McCain on "The View"

 On Wednesdays’s episode of The View, former vice president Joe Biden comforted a tearful Meghan McCain as she began to talk about her father’s brain cancer diagnosis. Her father, Arizona Sen. John McCain, has glioblastoma — the same cancer that killed Biden’s son, Beau, in 2015. As she fought back tears, Meghan told Biden: “I know you and your family have been through tragedy I couldn’t conceive of. What would you tell people—” Biden interrupted, walked over to her side, held her hand and talked about the breakthroughs that are occurring, and what her father means to him.

Senator John McCain's office released a statement yesterday (December 13th) that said he'd been hospitalized with "normal side effects" of treatment for the brain cancer he was diagnosed with in July. The statement said the 81-year-old McCain, who's undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, would return to the Senate as soon as possible, but it wasn't clear how long he'd be hospitalized. That news came as former Vice President Joe Biden, whose son Beau Biden died in 2015 of the same cancer that McCain has, tried to comfort his daughter, Meghan McCain, during an emotional appearance on ABC's This View, which she co-hosts. Biden was appearing on the show to talk about his new memoir about Beau's death, called Promise Me Dad.
