John McCain’s son endorses Kamala, citing Trump’s Arlington visit—his father used Arlington in 1999 campaign ad

Jimmy McCain, the youngest son of the late senator who ran for president in 2000 and again against Barack Obama in 2008, told CNN that he changed his political affiliation from independent to Democrat and that Trump's presence at the wreath laying was "a violation."
