Here’s hoping Senator John McCain gets well soon.
McCain had surgery to remove a blood clot located above his left eye. He’s resting comfortably at home. Most likely for the next week, delaying the health care vote.
This poses a problem now for McConnell and crew, who want to ram this Trumpcare Zombie through without a CBO score. They were looking into having the partisan HHS score the Trumpcare monstrosity. What a joke.
This extra time will help the resistance defeat this monstrosity. We should now see the next horrible CBO score before the vote. The extra days in the news cycle exposing Trumpcare’s unimaginable devastation will help tremendously as well.
Keep fighting to defeat Trumpcare!

“Senator McCain received excellent treatment at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix, and appreciates the tremendous professionalism and care by its doctors and staff. He is in good spirits and recovering comfortably at home with his family,” McCain’s office said in a statement. “On the advice of his doctors, Senator McCain will be recovering in Arizona next week.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, McCain is in good condition and resting at his home. McCain’s surgery took place on Friday.
“Following a routine annual physical, Sen. John McCain underwent a procedure to remove a blood clot from above his left eye on Friday, July 14 at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix. Surgeons successfully removed the 5-cm blood clot during a minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision,” the Mayo Clinic said in a statement. “Tissue pathology reports are pending within the next several days.”
The Republican senator’s absence from the Capitol is sure to change the calculation for the week’s business, because it will complicate the already tight math for the effort to repeal and replace the 2010 health care law.
UPDATE: McConnell postpones health care vote.
We have more time now to expose the Trumpcare fraud.
Keep the pressure on!
