George W. Bush not endorsing in 2024 presidential election – Washington Examiner
Former President George W. Bush has announced that he will not endorse any candidate in the 2024 presidential election, as confirmed by his office. When inquired by NBC News whether he or his wife, Laura Bush, would support a candidate or reveal their voting intentions, the response was a definitive “no.” The statement emphasized that Bush has distanced himself from presidential politics over the years. This declaration came shortly after former Vice President Dick Cheney, who served under Bush from 2001 to 2009, made comments regarding the upcoming election.

Former President George W. Bush is not endorsing a candidate in the 2024 presidential election, according to his office.
When asked by NBC News whether he or his wife, Laura Bush, would endorse a candidate or say how they would vote, Bush’s office flatly stated “no.”
“President Bush retired from presidential politics years ago,” the office added.
The comments from Bush’s office come one day after former Vice President Dick Cheney, who served under Bush in that capacity from 2001 to 2009, said in a statement that he will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in November.
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. 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. … That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris,” he said.
Following that announcement, former President Donald Trump blasted Cheney as an “irrelevant RINO,” or “Republican in name only,” in a post on Truth Social.
This is not the first time Bush has withheld an endorsement in a presidential race. In 2016, Bush did not vote for either Trump or Hillary Clinton, while in 2020, he wrote in former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for president. However, he endorsed John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012.
