Now that former Vice President Dick Cheney has said that he is voting for Kamala Harris, all eyes have been on George W. Bush, but the office of the former president has said that he will not be making any endorsements.
It’s probably a wise idea to just stay out of it.
NBC News reports:
Former President George W. Bush has no plans to endorse in the electionFormer President George W. Bush does not plan to endorse a candidate for president, his office told NBC News on Saturday.When asked whether the former president or his wife, Laura, would endorse a candidate or make public how they will vote, Bush’s office said “no.””President Bush retired from presidential politics years ago,” the office added.The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign declined to comment but pointed to the campaign’s Republican outreach efforts.Bush’s former vice president, Dick Cheney, announced on Friday that he would back Harris in the November election.”In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a statement. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.”
Some people on the left really wanted this endorsement for Harris, which is kind of hilarious.
The Far left site the Daily Kos, which spent years calling George W. Bush a war criminal, is actually angry that Bush has declined to endorse Harris:
George W. Bush shown to be unpresidential as usualThis from NBC News today when it inquired about George W.

Oh, bullshit, he also was MIA in the presidential leadership role when he did occupy the highest office in our nation. His faults as a president are legion.
