MEGHAN MCCAIN
BIOGRAPHY
Meghan McCain was propelled into the national spotlight at an early age and has become a
powerful role model for young women and Republicans alike. Sharing her opinions across a
variety of media, she passionately discusses news and events, as well as social issues and
challenges facing women.
Raised in Phoenix, Arizona, McCain is a graduate of Columbia University. While working on
her father’s 2008 presidential campaign, she launched a blog, which gained a wide readership
almost immediately and 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. The success of the blog thrust McCain onto the national media scene as a
columnist for The Daily Beast and an MSNBC contributor.
Inspired by her time on the campaign trail, McCain authored the New York Times bestseller Dirty Sexy Politics: A True Story in 2010. She then went on to write a children’s book
inspired by her father’s presidential run. McCain’s latest book, America, You Sexy Bitch: A Love
Letter to Freedom, recounts the cross-country road trip that she and the left-wing comedian
Michael Ian Black took together in 2011.
In 2013, McCain launched her genre-busting docu-talk series Raising McCain on Pivot,
Participant Media’s television network aimed at millennials. The series followed the outspoken
McCain on the road talking to unexpected experts and everyday people, and exploring a range of
topics. She then co-hosted Pivot’s late-night news program TakePart Live - a nightly show
decoding the news stories of the day with irreverence and insight, pointing viewers to related
actions.
In July 2015, McCain joined Premiere Networks as host of the nationally syndicated radio
program America Now, which broadcasts live on weekdays from 3 - 6 p.m. PT/6 - 9 p.m. on 100
affiliates. The program is also available on iHeartRadio.com and the iHeartRadio mobile app,
iHeartMedia's free all-in-one streaming music and live radio service, and
AmericaNowRadio.com.
Each day on America Now, McCain discusses the news, information and events that matter most
to the daily lives of Americans, from a millennial point of view. From business and politics, to
entertainment and social issues, America Now welcomes a variety of guests and experts, and
features McCain’s candid, passionate take on the latest local, national and global headlines.
