Meghan McCain: It’s ‘Breaking My Heart’ That Elizabeth Warren Is Beating Biden in the Polls
Reacting to Hunter Biden’s exclusive interview that aired on Tuesday morning, The View’s Meghan McCain—who has repeatedly reminded viewers she is close to the Bidens—said that not only are the issues surrounding the Bidens “breaking my heart,” but so is the fact that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is beating Joe Biden in the Democratic presidential primary.With the rest of the View panel giving Hunter Biden positive reviews for his interview, noting that he acknowledged it was “poor judgment” to sit on the board of a Ukrainian gas company while his dad was vice president, McCain disagreed with the table.“I don’t think he did a great job,” she stated. “I think when he said, look, I’m a private citizen, part of the problem is he also said I probably wouldn’t have gotten this job if I weren’t a Biden and I think it was some criticism that’s been held against other politicians’ children. So I think you have to choose your lane.”McCain, who is the daughter of late Sen. John McCain, went on to claim that being part of a political family is similar to being in the mafia, adding that “you know what you’re getting into.”“I don’t understand why you would do this interview at this time and maybe this was a call by ABC but this will be a conversation in the debates tonight and if you don’t think Julian Castro or Kamala Harris is going to take a shot when they have it,” McCain said, adding: “Metaphorical shot. I keep saying that because I talk like a redneck. I’m sorry.”After complaining that Hunter Biden should’ve worn a suit and did the interview in a studio since he was talking about such serious issues and topics, McCain said that “this is breaking my heart.”“It’s breaking my heart all day long,” she declared. “I love Joe Biden and his family. Hunter Biden had a lot of issues that he struggled with for a long time.”“What’s also breaking my heart, some of these polls numbers,” McCain added. “Elizabeth Warren is leading in the CBS-YouGov poll 31-24 percent in New Hampshire. So she’s going to take these opportunities.”Towards the end of the segment, McCain circled back to insist that Hunter Biden is going to be a “huge distraction and a huge narrative problem” for Joe Biden among Democratic primary voters because he can’t distinguish himself from the Trumps.“No one is more emotionally involved with Joe Biden at this table than I am,” she concluded. “I love him and his family dearly. I would have preferred a cleaner interview.”Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

2020 Vision Tuesday: Sanders is recovering from his heart attack, but his campaign may not
Bernie Sanders to Participate in Debate After Heart Procedure
(Bloomberg) — Bernie Sanders will be on stage at the Democratic debate in Ohio on Oct. 15 following a heart procedure that took him off the campaign trail, aides said on Thursday.His wife, Jane, said in a statement issued by the campaign that Sanders, a Vermont senator, “is up and about” and spent the day talking with staffers about policy.“We expect Bernie will be discharged and on a plane back to Burlington before the end of the weekend,” she said in the email. “He’ll take a few days to rest, but he’s ready to get back out there and is looking forward to the October debate.”The Vermont senator, 78, canceled all of his campaign events “until further notice” after he experienced chest pains at an event in Las Vegas on Tuesday. Doctors inserted two stents in his chest to clear an artery blockage, a routine procedure that is performed on millions of Americans each year.Late Thursday, Sanders’ campaign announced that it was reversing a decision it made Wednesday and would proceed with a $ 1.3 million ad buy in Iowa. The spot will air starting Oct. 8 and will run for two weeks.Sanders is the oldest candidate in the 2020 Democratic field. Elizabeth Warren is 70 and Joe Biden is 76. The likely Republican nominee, Donald Trump, is 73. But the episode raised questions about whether Sanders is too old to take on the rigors of the White House.Nationally, Sanders is polling in third among Democrats at 16.8% according to the RealClearPolitics average. Biden is leading with 26.2% followed by Warren with 24%.Sanders has taken on a busy campaign schedule. He was quick to tie his signature issue of Medicare for All to his health problems, tweeting Tuesday that he was feeling good and received good care, but wants to make sure all Americans are given the same level of treatment.“None of us know when a medical emergency might affect us. And no one should fear going bankrupt if it occurs,” Sanders tweeted.(Updates with purchase of ad in Iowa in fifth paragraph.)\–With assistance from Sahil Kapur.To contact the reporter on this story: Emma Kinery in Washington at ekinery@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Wendy Benjaminson at wbenjaminson@bloomberg.net, John Harney, Max BerleyFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.
