Meghan McCain exited ABC's all-female panel show in August, but is continuing to share her point of "View" in her Audible memoir “Bad Republican,” out now. "Bad Republican" started out as "a very serious political book," she tells USA TODAY. But submitted amid a global pandemic, it was deemed too serious for the times by her editor, agent, friends and husband Ben Domenech, publisher of the conservative online magazine The Federalist. She writes about the early days of her relationship with Domenech, celebrates friendships and mentions an uncomfortable phone call from former president Donald Trump, an adversary of her late father Sen. John McCain. Darker moments of McCain's life are also included: the postpartum anxiety that followed Liberty's birth and the 2019 miscarriage that preceded it (and coincided with an appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" that drew attention). She also details the last moments with her dad, who died in 2018 from a cancerous brain tumor. She tells USA TODAY she shed tears in the recording booth but hopes these personal stories offer her listeners comfort. #MeghanMcCain #BadRepublican #books #TheView
