Bush Breaks Silence on 2024 Election: No Endorsement for Trump or Harris

Bush Declines to Endorse 2024 Candidates

For­mer Pres­i­dent George W. Bush has stat­ed that he will not be mak­ing a pub­lic endorse­ment in the 2024 pres­i­den­tial election. 

This deci­sion comes after his for­mer Vice Pres­i­dent, Dick Cheney, caused shock­waves by reveal­ing he plans to cross par­ty lines and vote for Kamala Harris.

Cheney Backs Harris, Criticizes Trump

Cheney, who served as Bush’s VP for two terms, said he believes Don­ald Trump “is a greater threat to our repub­lic than any indi­vid­ual I’ve encoun­tered in my lifetime.” 

He added that he will be cast­ing his vote for Vice Pres­i­dent Kamala Har­ris, describ­ing it as a mat­ter of putting “coun­try above partisanship.”

Bush Maintains Distance from Politics

Bush’s spokesman stat­ed that the for­mer pres­i­dent has “retired from pres­i­den­tial pol­i­tics many years ago” and has no plans to make a pub­lic endorsement. 

Nei­ther Bush nor his wife Lau­ra will be reveal­ing who they plan to vote for in the upcom­ing election.

Divided Republican Party

The deci­sion by both the Cheneys to back the Demo­c­ra­t­ic can­di­date has fur­ther high­light­ed the divi­sions with­in the Repub­li­can party. 

Trump has lashed out at the Cheneys, call­ing Dick Cheney an “irrel­e­vant RINO” (Repub­li­can in Name Only).
