On Monday, the daughter of the late John McCain announced on Twitter that she intends to return to her position on "The View" after taking a break to mourn the loss of her father.
“I will be getting back on the horse @TheView Monday October 8th. Thank you all for your patience & understanding,” she wrote before sharing a quote, “’It’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard can you get hit and keep moving forward.’”
She also included an animated image of herself pulling on boxing gloves in the ring. One of her gloves is labeled “Dad,” a touching nod to her legendary father, who died on Aug. 25 following a battle with brain cancer.
