Meghan McCain on Being a Nepo Baby and Owning It

Listen Later

SNL called Meghan McCain the “Princess of Arizona”, and she’s embracing it. Her last name is nearly synonymous with Arizona as her father, the late Senator John McCain, led a 30+ year political career in the state. Her family name laddered Meghan up to big career moves, from regularly commentating on Fox News to repping conservative view points on “The View”. And she says: more nepo babies like her should own it, not shy away from it. 


In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Meghan shares: 

  • The cringiest photo op she had to do as the Senator’s kid 
  • Why opting out from having an opinion was never an option growing up 
  • How her family settled political disagreements and why all politics are celebrated in her family
  • The event that changed her views on paid family leave – and why all moms deserve it
  • Why she’s not voting for Trump or Biden, and what her dad would do
