"Joe Biden is one of the truly decent and compassionate men in all of American politics," McCain wrote.
"The View" co-host lauded Biden for helping her through her late father Sen. John McCain's struggle with brain cancer last year. The elder McCain, a Republican from Arizona who was the GOP's presidential nominee in 2008, died last August at age 81.
Biden's son Beau Biden had died of a similar cancer in 2015 at age 46.
