'Hopeful they'll move our country forward': George W. Bush's daughter campaigns for Harris
Former President George W. Bush, 78, has said he will not be weighing in on this year's divisive, coin-toss election.
But his daughter is.
Barbara Bush, 42, one of the former GOP president's two children, spent part of the weekend campaigning in Pennsylvania for Democrat and Vice President Kamala Harris, People reported.
"It was inspiring to join friends and meet voters with the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania this weekend," Barbara Bush said in a statement to the magazine. "I’m hopeful they'll move our country forward and protect women’s rights."
The former president's daughter has previously advocated for abortion and reproductive rights, speaking at a rally for Planned Parenthood in 2017. Before that in 2010, she told People she did not identify with either party.
Her namesake and late grandmother, former first lady Barbara Bush, told Paste BN's Susan Page that she "probably" would not still consider herself a Republican, in an interview months before her death. The matriarch of a prominent GOP family blamed former President Donald Trump for making the party unrecognizable to her.
Other high-profile Republicans have come out in opposition to Trump and support of Harris, including George Bush's vice president, Dick Cheney. His endorsement came shortly after his daughter and former Wyoming Congresswoman, Liz Cheney, announced she would be voting blue in this year's presidential election.
