George Bush won’t formally endorse candidate in 2024 election

SUMMARY

Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura Bush, announced that they will not be endorsing any candidate in the 2024 presidential election, maintaining their distance from the political scene. Bush's office stated, “President Bush retired from presidential politics years ago,” reaffirming that they do not plan to publicly share their voting choice. This decision came shortly after former Vice President Dick Cheney publicly declared he would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris was grateful for Cheney's endorsement, calling it a "courageous" act that reflects common values beyond political differences. Bush previously endorsed Mitt Romney in 2012 and John McCain in 2008, but he has remained removed from presidential politics in recent years.
