Cindy McCain Wore a White Pantsuit to Vote. Is She ‘With Her’?

2 minute read

Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain, a former Republican presidential candidate, voted on Tuesday at a church in Arizona. What’s fairly certain is that she voted for her husband to keep his longtime Senate seat. What’s not certain, if you read into her attire at the ballot box, is her choice for President.

Her bright white pantsuit coincides with two nationwide grassroots campaigns for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton: #WearWhiteToVote, in honor of suffragists who early last century rallied for women to get the right to vote, and Pantsuit Nation, a Facebook group that is what it sounds like.

So is McCain “with her”?

A request for comment was not immediately returned.

In October, the Senator withdrew his endorsement of Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee. McCain, who Trump claimed was not a war hero despite his years spent as a prisoner of war during Vietnam, fumed over Trump’s lewd comments about women. He said that he and Cindy would not vote for Trump or Clinton, despite originally endorsing Trump in May.

“Donald Trump’s behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy. Cindy, with her strong background in human rights and respect for women fully agrees with me in this,” McCain said in a statement.

“Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump,” he added. “I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.”
