Former President Barack Obama spoke at a rally at the University of Arizona, contrasting the character of former President Donald Trump with that of the late Sen. John McCain. Obama praised McCain for his values, integrity, and willingness to listen to different viewpoints. He also highlighted McCain’s defense of him during the 2008 election when a voter made disparaging remarks. Obama criticized Trump for lying, cheating, and disrespecting the Constitution and military members like McCain. Trump had called McCain a “loser” and questioned his war hero status. However, McCain’s actions led to the preservation of the Affordable Care Act, despite Trump’s attempts to dismantle it. Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris have both paid tribute to McCain’s legacy and attempted to appeal to “McCain Republicans” in Arizona. The rally aimed to highlight the stark differences between the two presidents and honor McCain’s service and values. The event drew thousands of supporters, showing the lasting impact of McCain’s actions in Arizona politics.
