Crawford, Texas — “I called Senator John McCain this morning to wish him well and encourage him in his fight.  Instead, he encouraged me.  I was impressed by his spirit and determination.  He has devoted his life to his country.  Thankfully, he is committed to continuing that service.  Laura and I pray for our friend to fully recover and quickly return to the Senate, where his voice and leadership are needed.  And we send our very best wishes to Cindy and the entire McCain family.”
