George W. Bush won't support Donald Trump’s reelection, report says

preview

George W. Bush will not support the re-election of Donald Trump, according to people familiar with his thinking, The Saturday.The paper said the former president and Texas governor won't vote for Trump's reelection and that his brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, "isn't sure how he'll vote." The paper spotlights several members of the Republican Party who are dissenting from party lines, though Bush was the only prominent Texas politician mentioned. Freddy Ford, a spokesman for Bush, told The Texas Tribune that Bush would steer clear of speaking publicly on his presidential vote and called The New York Times assertion false."This is completely made up," Ford said in an email. "He is retired from presidential politics and has not indicated how he will vote."It is unclear whether Bush will instead be voting for Joe Biden, Trump's Democratic rival. Both of the Bush brothers — and their parents, former President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush — said in 2016 they didn’t vote for Trump. But Trump endorsed Jeb’s son, George P. Bush, when he ran for reelection as Texas Land Commissioner in 2018. In 2014, before Jeb Bush ran for president (a race he lost to Trump), George P. told the Texas Tribune’s Evan Smith .The paper said U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney won't endorse the president, nor will Cindy McCain, widow of U.S. Sen. John McCain. Military leaders are sharing their misgivings, too. William McRaven, the former University of Texas System chancellor and retired Navy admiral, has been of Trump in the past. He told the Times that Trump isn't qualified for the office.“President Trump has shown he doesn’t have the qualities necessary to be a good commander in chief,” he said.Texas was also highlighted as an “unwavering supporter” of Trump.Perhaps it goes without saying — but producing quality journalism isn't cheap.
