President Donald Trump’s tirade against the late GOP Sen. John McCain is leading some members of his own party to say-  this time, the president has gone too far. Many Senate Republicans have been reluctant to criticize the president directly, but several have issued or tweeted statements praising McCain, who died in August. Among them is Senate Majority Leader MItch McConnell, who, without mentioning Trump, called McCain a “genuine American hero.” McCain spent more than five years imprisoned and tortured in Vietnam. Veterans have joined in the chorus of criticism, saying they can’t understand why Trump would speak with so disrespectfully about a man who suffered years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, devoted his life to public service, and died of brain cancer seven months ago. One such veteran – Vietnam vet Terry Barker – tells the Los Angeles Times that even though he voted for Trump and agrees with his politics, the president “should just let it go”.

A Biden aide told the network that bringing a running mate onboard earlier than normal would show voters Biden is serious about unseating President Donald Trump.
