After year-long bout with brain cancer, McCain dead at 81 (Video)

Battling a brain tumor since being diagnosed in July 2017, Senator John McCain has died at his ranch in Sedona, Arizona. McCain ran twice for president coming closest in 2008 when he was the Republican nominee and ultimately losing to Barack Obama. A Republican conservative, but also known as a maverick for his willingness to buck the party when he felt it was needed, McCain served in the Senate for six terms, first elected in 1982. Before his death he left instructions, and his family has insisted, that they do not want President Donald Trump to attend his funeral.
