The late Senator John McCain was a staunch supporter of American internationalism, often clashing with President Trump’s more isolationist policies. Since McCain’s passing in August 2018, his political heirs have continued to challenge the Trump administration’s efforts to retreat from global alliances and weaken its foreign policy.
McCain’s daughter, Meghan, has become an outspoken advocate for her father’s internationalist beliefs and regularly uses her media platform to criticize the president. Senator Lindsey Graham, a close friend of McCain, is also working to carry on McCain’s legacy of a strong foreign policy and is an outspoken ally of the Jewish state of Israel, a cause that McCain was particularly passionate about.
Meanwhile, a growing number of young McCain acolytes are wielding the power of their votes in the 2020 election to take a stand against Trump’s protectionist foreign policy. The youth-led organization, Persist Pac, is dedicated to electing candidates who support a strong American presence on the world stage.
Ultimately, McCain’s legacy of internationalism and his political heirs provide a united resistance to President Trump’s America-first policy of isolationism. As the world approaches a new decade, McCain’s political heirs can take solace in knowing that his work of defending American values abroad will live on.
