“At some point, maybe,” she said in response to the direct question. “My tone keeps shifting because, quite frankly, the bench in Arizona is not great, but it’s very Trump-y. The woman running for governor right now, Kari Lake, was endorsed by President Trump and is more than likely going to win. But it’s still an interesting state filled with really interesting people. [Senator] Kyrsten Sinema, obviously, is a total independent in so many different ways.”

In addition, McCain was doubtful that her career would go very far. “People hate children of politicians. People hate it. So I would probably lose,” she said. When asked what she would do instead, she revealed that she’d consider consulting (via Business Insider). “I really miss politics … I have a friend who does political consulting for pretty high-level politicians, and I was thinking like maybe doing something like that in the future,” she explained. “I feel very at home among political people. I feel very understood. We’re all interested in the same things. And I feel really respected in a way that I don’t necessarily feel in TV media, for whatever that’s worth.”
