it is likely that there is going to be a lot of white house pressure not to have cindy mccain to take that seat to have someone that's reliably trump's vote in the u.s. senate. >> it is going to restore the majority of the republicans to 51 votes since john mccain have not been voting since december of last year. it has been a narrow majority and that will certainly with the nomination of brett kavanaugh making it necessary to have not just the murkowski and the susan colli collins votes. with a lot of close votes coming up, it will be a lot of pressure to governor ducey not to give the honor to cindy mccain. >> kelly, o'donnel there on the ground there for us in phoenix. kelly has been around this family for about a number of years covering the senator, of course, before and after the presidential bid back in 2008. kelly, i will pose the same question to you, based on the conversations you had with folks on the ground there. the likelihood that it happens and is that a job that cindy mccain would be interested in? >> reporter: well, i had a lot of conversations on this topic and some

you have the mccain family being taken, cindy mccain by the honor guard and of course the casket will be brought out and placed into the hearse and brought here. it's kind of been reversed, the mccain family also on scene. you mentioned earlier, we will hear today from andrew mccain, john mccain's son from his first marriage, and bridget mccain, his adoptive daughter. we will hear from both of them during the services along with the former vice president joe biden. if you think about joe biden and john mccain's relationship, it goes back more than 40 years. remember, john mccain before he entered congress and in the senate, he was the navy liaison to the senate so he and joe biden will do a lot of overseas trips. during those trips they became very tight. of course the sad irony of all this is that joe biden's son died from the very same cancer that took senator mccain's life last friday. you can see here, the honor guard and every branch of the military will be lined up outside of the state's capital. if yesterday we saw this amazing outpouring. they just could not have been more imp

laura and i send our heartfelt sympathies to cindy mccain and the entire mccain family.bviously president obama has put out at statement. joe biden. what you are seeing, judge, is reaction to the death of a man who was unique in washington. and, you know, i think there are going to be a lot of people who look back at his life and all he did for the country, serve the country, not himself. judge jeanine: ways so striking is all of the things, are all of the things he accomplished. there were 233 bombing missions -- there were 23 bombing missions he was on. his political life as well as writing a best seller. winning six senate elections. but i think probably what he would be remembered most of for was the fact that he was a maverick. he was someone who wants as concerned about politics as he was about what he believed in. bret: that's right. just in the last second, sarah palin put out a statement. today we lost an american original. senator john mccain was a maverick and fighter. never afraid to stand for his beliefs. he never took the easy path in life and through sacri

he greeted cindy mccain last night for the arrival of the senator's casket. earlier this week, he said the u.s. has lost a great patriot in john mccain. john mccain's military service, as much a part of his legacy as the political service, of course, michael. >> yeah. again, the confluence of images and people at this service is probably an important part of the narrative, as well. it says a lot about how john mccain prioritized people in this final moment. that he wanted to be a part of the statement that he's making to the country. the former members of his campaign who are not there, his vice presidential running mate, the president of the united states. then others who are there, warren beatty and what we saw yesterday with vice president bid biden. he is, i think, really committed, even in death, to remind us that there are better angels in us. we're not going to be subject to this vileness that's infected our politics today. he really resented that quite a bit. >> told that at this moment, behind the scenes, they're actually changing out the flag that ha

is this something you think cindy mccain would even want? ccains for a long time. >> reporter: it's hard to say, but it is being talked about. when you look back over time there have been a number of occasion where is a surviving spouse has been appointed to fill a seat on an interim basis. the mccain family is not talking about this at all this week. they want to keep the focus on john mccain, but the issue comes up in part because she was such a partner for the senator and has her own issues like human trafficking and long regs relationships in the senate making her an easy fit to step in and continue that legacy, if only for a short time, but the decision won't be made public until after the burial and it is up to the governor. craig, savannah? >> kelly, quickly before we let you go, you know cindy mccain mother than most correspondents. how do you think she'll do today? haven't seen a lot of her since the senator passed. >> reporter: understandably a very difficult time. the loss is deep and the pain is real. i can also tell you that cind

i just got a text that cindy mccain is still on capitol hill, and she's about to go with lindsey grahamnavenator mccain's sta. then they're going to go on to the senate floor. cindy mccain is going to visit the desk of her husband, where he spent so much time, participated in so many debates, gave so many impassioned speeches, but is now draped with a black cloth and white flowers. a very, very moving day, to say the least. >> well, in the image you just showed of chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell walking together, i think what has been so nice in this really difficult week for so many people in washington and around the country is to see that those moments are still possible. sometimes it takes something like the death of senator mccain to put them back on the table, but we've just been in such a fractured environment here in washington. i think that is sort of mccain's final wish for washington, that we can get back to a place -- it will take a lot, but to see those simple moments, that's a wonderful legacy he's left us with. >> and i've also been thinking a lot about the mccain famil

cindy mccain has a long history in this area. she's a real expert on it and she was instrumental in the legislation in these reforms, as was the mccain institute. john had a passion for it. he was the first republican cosponsor of the bill and a passionate advocate. he believed in his heart that the sale of women and children online was just wrong and it should never happen, certainly not in this country in this century. about six months ago this legislation, the sesta bill was about to be vote on and after getting permission from my democratic coauthor, senator richard blumenthal, who agreed with me, i approached john mccain and i asked him if we could name this antisex trafficking legislation the mccain bill, after him and after cindy and all the work he had done and his passion for it. his response was immediate and classic mccain. no, he said. that wouldn't be right. i strongly support the legislation but you all did the work. it isn't about me. it's about getting this done for those women and those children. country first. fo

you saw cindy mccain, the widow. she will be boarding the airport. for the family, they thought about this. they had 13 months to think about it after he was diagnose nopsed with the severe brain cancer. john mccain, himself, was very much involved in planning, organizing and arranging all of this. >> certainly the senator and the family had a sense of how important this is going to be. >> you can see cindy, jimmy, jack and meghan. they are boarding this aircraft as we speak. go ahead. >> this is -- this is a moe mentous moment. senator mccain is leaving now, his beloved arizona, as you see, as they stood on the tarmac, camelback mountain a special place for the mccain's. he's leaving, for the last -- for the last time. and, as the mccain family knows, their roots will still be in arizona, in hidden valley. that must be an incredibly emotional thing to confront. to visit their father, they will need to do it at the naval academy. yet, john mccain will be in the essence of all of arizona for as long as arizona is around because his legacy will be inesc

some names already being floated include senator mccain's widow cindy. arizona senator jon kyl. he served with mccain from 1995 to 2013. former seven-term arizona congressman john shad ig. former arizona congressman matt salmon who retired from congress last year. and governor ducey's chief of staff kirk adrmz. for more joined by our round table noel nickpoor. director of strategic communications for hillary for america. and eddie glaude, a princeton professor and msnbc contributor. noel' no noelle, look at that list. is it the mold of mccain, somebody willing to break with the party a little bit versus somebody who's more in the mold of alliance with donald trump? when you look at that list, what do you see? >> gosh. i've got to be honest with you. this is a very hard spot for ducey to be in because you've got to basically pick somebody to replace john mccain, great john mccain, that is going to stay true to his seat and his thoughts and his mannerisms versus what's going on with the trump party pretty much. it's a very hard place. i don't envy his posi

[applause] and just say, we started out not as a president and first lady, senator, secretary of state. we started out like aretha groupies or something. [laughing] i mean, she

but let me assure you about cindy mccain. cindy is also an american of great strength and great courage. when i was there, we sat together and we talked about the senate, about his beloved arizona, about the past, and actually about the future as well and about the places around the world that we had visited together. the presiding officer: the senate needs to come to order. mr. barrasso: senator mccain was a student of history. we talked about teddy roosevelt's speech. it goes, it's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. the credit belong to the man who is actually in the arena, who's face is marred by dust, sweat and blood, who strides valiantly. who knows the great enthusiasms, great devotions and spends his life in a worthy cause and who knows in the end the triumph of freight a -- great achievement. and if he fails, he fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be among the cold and timid souls who know neerltsdz vi

[ applause ] >> reporter: an irascible statesman. >> we never hide from history. we make history. >> reporter: through it all, john mccain carried himself as a joyful warrior. >> i've enjoyed every single day of it. the good ones and the not so good ones. i've been inspired by the service of better patriots than me. >> reporter: patriotism rooted in family. his father and grandfather both admirals passed down his name and his navy career. more than 50 years ago on his 23rd mission over vietnam, enemy fire downed his plane. >> american planes were shot down and two of their pilots captured. one o

i am told that senator lindsey graham escorted cindy mccain to the senate floor, typically reserved onlyor mccain's desk, which has been draped in black, which is the tradition of the senate, with beautiful flowers placed on his desk, and then the mccain family, seven children, five grandchildren, his brother and sister joe and sandy, john mccain was a middle child, something he mentioned to me from time to time. and of course his mother, spending his time with the mccain senate staff. one of the things that has really struck me over these days, remembering john mccain, and the reason there is such a resonance for his life, his service, some of the things he's represented, is he has been a contemporary figure. often we say to presidents long after they have left the public stage. john mccain was very much in the arena, even through his year of convalescence, because he was, through his staff, with weekly conference calls, trying to still be in the game, andrea. >> kelly o'donnell. and we see the pictures there, of course, of cindy mccain as she earlier today was paying tribute to her hus

cindy mccain also putting out a heartfelt statement.u wonder how this all will say it because it's pretty overwhelming if you think about it. all of this pomp and circumstance. there was something about john mccain that was very humble and down to earth, and even though he planned everything here, you wonder what john mccain could be thinking about with the spectacle. >> dagen: the hearse and the funeral procession are arriving in front of the capitol building. i want to go to trace gallagher, who is on the scene in phoenix. >> the procession is just now arriving here. i took about 30 or 35 minutes from the funeral home to the state capital, which is maybe ten or 12 miles to get here. so they are running a little bit behind schedule. you can see the hearse is arriving now and you can see doug ducey and his wife, the first lady of arizona, are now poised to greet cindy mccain and her family here. we are kind of focusing on the big picture here, which is the state capital. but if you look at those 13 miles left cortez went from the funera

my point is john mccain and we got to go megan mccain really well here at fox, cindy mccain, the entire family, these are people who are strong and they had a tough battle, tough fight in recent months and you wonder where does megan mccain, john mccain that toughness, that spunk? yes, his father and grandfather, navy admirals but his mother who is still alive, pretty tough woman as well. john: apple does not fall far from the tree. frank donatelli is joining us. he was senior campaign advisor to john mccain. was that in the -- was that -- frank tell us about that experience. >> right, that was 2008. i moved over to the republican national committee to be senator mccain's person at the rnc. for the last six months of the campaign. while the campaign lasted almost two years and i think we were ahead for ten days, but senator mccain was the happy warrior always. always working very hard. one thing i remember was from early in the campaign this was when president bush had announced the search to try to save the american effort in iraq and everybody was walking away from that but not mccain

david was just talking about from that incredible moment that you played with the veteran and cindy mccainately, it's also a contrast that puts the way that john mccain approached things. not that he was perfect, and not that he didn't have his flaws and not that he didn't get into spats with people. the president is one of them. but when it came to moments like this, he put things aside, and the contrast is even more evident. but it is unfortunate. >> stuart, were you surprised about the way it played out today? >> i'm sort of beyond being surprised here. i think it's unfortunate that we have to have an argument about whether we're going to honor a great man like john mccain. what it really makes you realize is not just that we've lost this man, but what else have we lost in the country at this moment? if anything should be just an outpouring from the white house of respect. here is someone who is known across the globe, not just america, as a great american who embodies so many characteristics that we like to think are the best of america -- courage and independence, his maverick streak.
