Welcome to my Substack! I am Meghan McCain, and I've been a co-host of all your favorite cable news shows, and also “The View”. I've won awards and have been parodied by just about every network. I've never taken it or anything else personally because political commentary is a bloodsport and I like it that way.
Currently, I host my popular podcast, "Citizen McCain," where I cover trending news and celebrity gossip, featuring guests from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. I've had Erika Jayne, Dr. Phil, Ted Cruz and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — so I'm used to the wide range of American insanity. I have a production company, Citizen Cain Productions, which is focused on elevating female-led stories and celebrating the rich diversity of American life.
Before all the craziness started, I was bent on a career in music journalism. I was an intern at Newsweek and “Saturday Night Live” back when something like that mattered, and during my father's 2008 presidential campaign, I was a social media person before that was a career. I was a columnist for The Daily Beast, an MSNBC contributor, and a co-host of Fox News’ “OutNumbered”. Along the way, I became a New York Times best-selling author and a multiple Emmy nominee and that was somehow the least crazy thing about my life. And on a personal note, I live in Virginia with my husband and two daughters.
