There are questions today about whether Senator John McCain will make it back to vote on the Republican tax bill next week. McCain’s office released this statement:
“Senator McCain is currently receiving treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center for normal side effects of his ongoing cancer therapy. As ever, he remains grateful to his physicians for their excellent care, and his friends and supporters for their encouragement and good wishes. Senator McCain looks forward to returning to work as soon as possible.”
CNN’s Jamie Gangel is reporting, “in the last couple of weeks, sources of mine told me that Senate colleagues feel he has been declining. he has been frail.”
