George W. Bush Issues Statement About 2024 Presidential Endorsement


After several prominent GOP critics of President Donald Trump have confirmed they will not be voting for him in November, many pundits wondered if former President George W. Bush would weigh in.

His office finally released a statement on the matter, but only to confirm that he would not be publicly endorsing any candidate nor would he reveal whom he plans to vote for.

According to Fox News:

Former President George W. Bush does not plan to reveal whom he will vote for in the upcoming 2024 election.

“No,” the former president’s office said when asked by NBC News whether he or former First Lady Laura Bush would endorse a candidate publicly. “President Bush retired from presidential politics years ago.”

Bush’s refusal to make a public endorsement comes just a day after his former vice president, Dick Cheney, announced that he would go against his party’s candidate and support Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

Several anti-Trump Republicans have spoken out against the GOP nominee in recent weeks, including some who said they would be casting a ballot for Kamala Harris.

Of course, a number of high-profile Democrats have also defected since Harris secured the nomination:

Trump has even added two former Democrats to his transition team, as CNBC reported:

Former President Donald Trump has added his onetime campaign rival Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to his presidential transition team, a spokesman confirmed Tuesday.

Both Kennedy and Gabbard endorsed Trump in the past week in his race against Vice President Kamala  Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee.

“As President Trump’s broad coalition of supporters and endorsers expands across partisan lines, we are proud that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have been added to the Trump/Vance Transition team,” Trump campaign senior advisor Brian Hughes said in a statement to CNBC.

Here’s some additional coverage of the growing wave of Trump support among current and former Democrats:
