As seen below, McCain posted a letter which reads: “Dearest Joe, My heart is breaking for you and your family. What I do know is your strength and tenacity will persevere. Thank you for introducing me to the person who would become my incredible husband. My life has been simply amazing. I owe some of that to you and Jill. Love, Cindy McCain.”

During the 2020 presidential election, Mrs. McCain presented the video below which endorsed Biden and featured “the friendship that shouldn’t have worked.”
Mrs. McCain narrates the story of how the two politicians — McCain, a Navy pilot released from a North Vietnamese prison after a long captivity, and Biden, a young Senator from Delaware — met in the 1970s.
Beautiful thoughts, reminded of the video you produced about Joe and your late husband during the 2020 DNC convention 💙
