Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., recently urged former President George W. Bush to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris during an episode of The New Yorker Radio Hour. Cheney expressed her desire for Bush to speak out in support of Harris, emphasizing the importance of his endorsement.
Cheney's call for Bush's endorsement comes after both she and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, publicly endorsed Harris for President. The Cheneys, who previously served under Bush, have been actively campaigning with Harris in recent weeks.
Bush's daughter, Barbara, has also thrown her support behind Harris and has been actively campaigning on behalf of the vice president. Barbara Bush expressed her optimism about Harris and her commitment to moving the country forward and protecting women's rights during a recent campaign event in Pennsylvania.
However, former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, have stated that they currently have no plans to endorse a presidential candidate. Despite the endorsements from prominent figures like the Cheneys and Barbara Bush, the former president has chosen to remain neutral in the current political landscape.
Cheney's public call for Bush's endorsement highlights the ongoing dynamics within the Republican Party and the shifting alliances and loyalties among prominent political figures. As the 2024 presidential election looms on the horizon, endorsements from influential figures like George W. Bush could have a significant impact on the political landscape.
