Former President George W. Bush does not plan to formally endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election, his office told multiple outlets on Saturday.
Neither Bush nor his wife Laura Bush plans to publicly share who they will vote for, according to NBC News, with his office adding that “President Bush retired from presidential politics years ago.”
Bush’s decision not to endorse a candidate in this White House election comes just a day after his then-vice president, Dick Cheney, confirmed he would be voting for Vice President Harris. His daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), shared her father’s decision hours earlier at the Texas Tribune Festival on Friday.
Harris welcomed Cheney’s support, telling reporters on Saturday she was “honored.”
“And them stepping up to make this public statement, I think is courageous, but also for the folks I was just talking with, it really reinforces for them that we love our country and we have more in common than what separates us,” she said.

A deeply flawed candidate who admires dictators, leverages those relationships, is a felon, has bankrupted his companies, swindled investors, abuses people, and does not have the judgement or moral character to lead this countr… Read more
That's shame for the approximately 3 people in the USA who give a darn what he thinks
Bush can **** right off. I’m embarrassed I voted for him twice as well as his Daddy, McCain and Romney. What a fool I was. Never again will I vote for an establishment candidate.
