Cindy McCain Rips Ludicrous Arizona Recount: The Election Is Over
McCain said she s focused on her grandbabies and wouldn t confirm a report she s being considered for a Biden administration appointment.
Cindy McCain on Sunday slapped down the ongoing vote recount in Arizona by a controversial private company as “ludicrous.”
“The election is over. Biden won,” declared McCain, the widow of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain (R). “I know many of you don’t like the outcome, but elections have consequences.”
Things are “crazy out there now,” she told Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) More than a year after a young U.S.-backed politician rose up to oust Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, the socialist leader holds a yet stronger grip on power with a boost from the novel coronavirus.
The Venezuelan opposition hoped that 2020 could bring new momentum after several failed pushes to overthrow Maduro. Then came the coronavirus. Analysts say the pandemic has helped suck away the opposition’s already flagging support.
Fear of contagion has helped keep protesters off the streets, and the virus-driven end of a slight economic upturn has kept Venezuelans focused on daily survival, not politics.
Cindy McCain said Sunday that the continued efforts to overturn Arizona s presidential election results are ludicrous The election is over, McCain told CNN . Biden won. I know many of them don t like the outcome. But, you know, elections have consequences
The widow of late Senator John McCain could be the first Republican to join Biden s administration as U.S. ambassador to the UN World Food Program
Her comments came after Trump said during a Thursday rant at Mar-a-Lago that Arizona could be the first state to overturn the rigged election results
He said that he only lost to Joe Biden because of widespread election fraud
Listen, this whole thing is ludicrous, quite frankly. It s ludicrous. And this also comes from a state party in Arizona that refused to be audited themselves on votes that were cast within their own party communications, Cindy McCain said. The election is over. [President] Biden won, she added. I know many of them don t like the outcome, but, you know, elections have consequences. And so . this does not surprise me, you know, that things are just aloof and crazy out there right now with regards to the election.
It was reported in April that the Arizona state Senate had hired a security consulting company, Cyber Ninjas, to head a forensic audit of votes in Maricopa County. Biden won Maricopa County, ultimately flipping Arizona and winning its 11 electoral votes.
