    In 2007, Meghan began documenting John's presidential campaign on "McCain Blogette," as well as writing about pop culture and fashion. In September 2008, she released "My Dad, John McCain," a children's book about her dad's military service and presidential aspirations. The book became a bestseller, and a portion of the proceeds were donated to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. Meghan began contributing to "The Daily Beast" in early 2009, and the following year, she released her political memoir "Dirty Sexy Politics." Around this time, she also began appearing on "The View" as a guest co-host.

    In 2011, McCain and Michael Ian Black spent a month traveling across America in an RV, leading to the book "America, You Sexy Bitch: A Love Letter to Freedom." That year, she also began appearing as an analyst on MSNBC, and in 2013, she got her own talk show, "Raising McCain," on the Pivot channel. The show ran from September 2013 until January 2014, then Meghan joined Pivot's "TakePart Live" in May.

    In July 2015, McCain became a Fox News contributor, and she began regularly co-hosting "Outnumbered" on the network in November 2016. In 2015, she played herself on an episode of the Showtime series "House of Lies," and she was named a permanent co-host of "The View" in September 2017.

    Meghan married writer Ben Domenech on November 21, 2017, at her family Sedona ranch. The couple welcomed daughter Liberty on September 28, 2020. In July 2019, McCain revealed that she had previously suffered a miscarriage and wrote about the tragic experience in a "New York Times" piece entitled "What I Learned From My Miscarriage." Meghan was very close to her father, and sadly, Senator McCain passed away from brain cancer in 2018; in her eulogy, McCain called her father's death the "passing of American greatness."

    Meghan registered as an independent at the age of 18, and though she changed her political affiliation to Republican in 2008, she is supportive of gay rights and in favor of same-sex marriage. In 2014, GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) appointed McCain to their National Board of Directors, and she was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Talk Show Episode for "Raising McCain." In 2019, she was honored with the Harvey Milk Foundation Lilla Watson Medal for her work as an LGBT rights advocate, and in 2015, she co-hosted the Concert for Love and Acceptance, a charity event put on by GLAAD and country singer Ty Herndon in Nashville.
