Arizona GOP Senate candidate among lawmakers highlighted in New York’s North Country
Arizona politics headed eastward to New York’s North Country on Monday, as President Donald Trump signed a Pentagon policy bill there named after one of his frequent nemeses, Republican John McCain, who went unmentioned by the president, and singled out for praise a woman seeking to become McCain’s Senate colleague: Rep. Martha McSally.
McSally made the trip across the country to the Army’s Fort Drum and was rewarded with a shout-out from Trump, although not an endorsement.
That was more than McCain got. Despite the Fiscal 2019 defense authorization bill being named after the senior Arizona senator and Armed Services Committee chairman, and who is fighting cancer back in the Grand Canyon State, the president made no mention of McCain.
