New York -- Republican presidential nominee and senior senator from Arizona John McCain is to make his fifth guest appearance on "The View" next week, ABC said.

The candidate is to be joined by his wife, Cindy McCain, on the episode to air Sept. 12.

Their appearance marks the beginning of the show's "Red, White & View" campaign, "highlighting interviews and informational segments that promote civic responsibility in the upcoming election," ABC said.

The McCains, who are to be the only featured guests that day, will be interviewed by hosts Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd.
