On her highly popular podcast, Citizen McCain, Meghan covers trending news and celebrity gossip, featuring guests from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints.

Prior to joining The View, McCain was a co-host on the afternoon talk program Outnumbered on the Fox News Channel. She was also a co-host on Pivot TV’s late night news program TakePart Live. McCain was also the creator, executive producer and host of the genre-busting docuseries Raising McCain, which also aired on Pivot. The series followed the outspoken McCain on the road, talking to unexpected experts and everyday people by exploring a range of topics from bullying and feminism to sex overload and the death of romance, among others.

With ambitions to pursue a career in music journalism, she completed internships at Newsweek and Saturday Night Live before joining her father’s 2008 presidential campaign where she launched a blog that gained an avid readership almost immediately. The blog received two distinguished awards in politics: The Golden Dot Award for Best Blog and two Pollie Awards from the Association of Political and Public Affairs Professionals. She then burst onto the national media scene as a columnist for The Daily Beast and an MSNBC contributor.

Inspired by her time on the campaign trail during her father’s Presidential run, McCain authored Dirty Sexy Politics and My Dad, John McCain, a children’s book that became a New York Times bestseller. Her third book, America, You Sexy Bitch, recounts the cross-country road trip that she and liberal comedian Michael Ian Black embarked upon together. McCain’s newest book, Bad Republican, is a deeply affecting memoir exploring what it feels like to no longer fit in with your political party, touching on her father’s last days, why she left The View, and her miscarriage with a level of vulnerability that renders her especially relatable.
