McCain’s Alter Ego
Bloomberg profiles Sen. John McCain’s right hand man, noting he’s “run for president twice, gone through four campaign managers, written five books and delivered hundreds of speeches. The one constant: Mark Salter, the Arizona senator’s longtime aide and alter ego.”
“Salter, 53, is his most trusted adviser, traveling companion, image-shaper, sounding board, wordsmith and defender. He weighs in on almost every campaign decision, and in McCain’s absence, even speaks for the presumptive Republican nominee.”
Said McCain: “He’s like a brother. There’s no one closer to me in my life, besides my wife and kids.”
