AceShowbiz - In a surprising revelation shared on the iHeart podcast "Next Questions With Katie Couric", former "The View" cohost Meghan McCain, 40, disclosed that she voted for her deceased father in the 2024 presidential election, instead of opting for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.

"I wrote in my dad. Is that cliché? I'm so sorry, I know, I know. It's so… people are mad at me. People are so mad at me, Katie. I mean, mad that I didn't vote either way," McCain explained.

McCain, who consistently voiced her rejection of Trump, elaborated on her choice during the podcast. "And I was like, I have such Christian guilt at night, and I don't want anything on my conscience with any of it. I just can never vote for Trump. I can't do it. I could never explain it to my children," she stated.

When pressed by Couric on why she also declined to support Harris, McCain attributed her decision to policy differences. "I really wanted her to give me a reason to vote for her, and I just felt like it never happened and there were some questions that she just couldn't answer."

Although McCain commended Harris for her efforts, describing them as "getting in the cockpit of a crashing plane and leveling it out the way she did," she clarified, "I don't think she's this cataclysmic disaster that she's being portrayed as. I actually think it's pretty unfair."

McCain's previous comments toward Harris were less flattering, particularly on her "Citizen McCain]" podcast earlier this year. Criticizing Harris' 2022 speech, McCain remarked, "She sounds like a stoner, like a 19-year-old stoner in college who's high at 3 am. She makes me so uncomfortable."

Furthermore, McCain cited her conservative values and pro-life stance as contributing factors, expressing unease about Harris' alignment with Governor Tim Walz on certain issues. Despite this, McCain's reflections on Harris were nuanced, acknowledging her strengths and efforts during a tumultuous period.

Before launching her podcast, McCain's media journey included her tenure on "The View" from 2017-2021 and a stint as a Fox News contributor.
