President Joe Biden on Thursday will announce the construction of an Arizona library in honor of his longtime friend, the late Republican Sen. John McCain.
The McCain Library will boast “a new multi-purpose facility to provide education, work, and health monitoring programs to underserved communities in the state,” a White House official said, with funding from the American Rescue Plan in partnership with the McCain Institute and Arizona State University.
During his remarks, the president is expected to issue blunt new warnings about ongoing threats to US democracy, sharpening the central argument in his potential rematch with Donald Trump, who has repeatedly attacked McCain. DuringBiden’s visitto Hanoi, Vietnam, earlier this month, the president stopped at a commemoration marker near the place McCain’s plane was shot down during the Vietnam War to pay his respects. The president also honored the late senator in Alaska on the 22nd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks earlier this month.
Cindy McCain endorsed Biden in 2020 and was featured in an ad the Democratic National Convention released ahead of the 2020 presidential election, where she said her late husband and Biden “would just sit and joke,” and “it was like a comedy show sometimes to watch the two of them.”
