Meghan McCain

McCain got engaged to conservative writer and commentator Ben Domenech in July 2017. They got married on November 21, 2017, in Sedona, Arizona, at the family’s ranch. Meghan and Ben do not have any children yet.

Meghan has a net worth of $4 million.

Meghan stated on ‘The View’ once that although she went to a Catholic school, she was raised as a Baptist and wishes to remain so.

Meghan Marguerite McCain was born on October 23, 1984, in Phoenix, Arizona, US. She is the daughter of US Senator John McCain and Cindy Hensley McCain.

John was the ‘Republican’ presidential candidate in 2008. Cindy is an American businesswoman.

McCain is the first of the four children of John and Cindy and has been in the eye of media throughout her life. She made her first public appearance at the 1996 ‘Republican National Convention.’

Meghan attended ‘Phoenix Country Day School’ in Phoenix, Arizona, and ‘Xavier College Preparatory High School.’ She then attended ‘Columbia University’ and earned her bachelor’s degree in art history.

Meghan wanted to be a music journalist before turning toward TV hosting.

With an ambition to become a music journalist, Meghan interned at ‘Newsweek’ and ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Fate, however, had other plans for her.

While working for her father’s presidential campaign, Meghan started her own blog titled ‘McCain Blogette.’ Her views about fashion, music, pop culture, and social issues brought her in the limelight. She also documented experiences of her campaign life and received high readership.

Her readers made her views popular, and she eventually became award-winning blogger. Her readership got her a job as a columnist for ‘The Daily Beast’ in 2009.

She also started working as an ‘MSNBC’ contributor. That was the beginning of her long professional career in journalism.

In March 2009, an article written by Meghan invited a lot of criticism from radio talk-show host, Laura Ingraham. The article named ‘My Beef with Ann Coulter’ questioned the ‘Republican’ support for conservative author Ann Coulter.

Although there was no response from Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham compared Meghan to a “valley girl.” Meghan responded to her comment through another article titled ‘Quit Talking About My Weight, Laura Ingraham.’ Meghan challenged Laura by questioning her ways of discussing irrelevant topics such as Meghan’s weight and clothes rather than the main issue of her article, which was related to ‘Republican’ views.

In an interview with Larry King, Meghan finally accepted that she had had enough of the Laura Ingraham controversy and had moved on. From 2009 to 2013, Meghan was exclusively busy with books, blogs, and politics.

She was always a staunch supporter of gay rights and sex education. She is also an environmentalist, much like her father.

She registered herself as an independent voter at the age of 18 and voted for John Kerry. However, during the 2008 presidential elections, she turned into a ‘Republican’ supporter to side with her father.
