John McCain has been diagnosed with brain cancer, days after he underwent surgery to remove a blood clot above his eye.
The 2008 Republican presidential nominee’s office and the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, released a statement on Wednesday evening revealing the diagnosis.
“Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with a blood clot,” the statement explains. “Scanning done since the procedure (a minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision) shows that the tissue of concern was completely resected by imaging criteria.”
The form of brain cancer that McCain had removed is the most aggressive.

"When I first started interviewing people, like when I had Jeb [Bush] or [Donald] Trump or [Ted] Cruz on, he'd sit on my shoulder, like the devil on my shoulder," Colbert, 51, says in Adweek's Super Bowl issue of his satirical Colbert Report portrayal of a conservative political pundit.

Maureen Dowd fired back on Tuesday at critics who’ve cast doubt on the accuracy of a recent column that seemed to depict a deathbed wish Beau Biden made for his father to run for president. “The column is accurate,” Dowd told New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan.
