McCain, 81, who is battling brain cancer, was briefly hospitalized before flying home to Arizona over the weekend. He was treated for a viral infection at Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland.
Arizona governor Doug Ducey also said he talked to McCain's wife Cindy earlier this week and "got a good report from her." The governor said that McCain is the "toughest man in the United States Senate."
