On Capitol Hill, family, friends, and political leaders from both sides of the aisle gathered to honor Senator John McCain's legacy at a memorial.  Former Vice President Joe Biden shared an emotional tribute, speaking of the senator's unwavering values and calling out the state of current US politics.
