George W. Bush's Daughter Barbara Is Campaigning For Kamala Harris
HuffPost
Former President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush have not publicly shared how they plan to vote in this year’s presidential election.
Barbara Pierce Bush, the daughter of former President George W. Bush and granddaughter of former President George H.W. Bush, has confirmed her support for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
In a Tuesday statement to People, the health care activist acknowledged having spent part of the weekend in Pennsylvania campaigning on behalf of Harris and vice presidential nominee Tim Walz.
“It was inspiring to join friends and meet voters with the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania this weekend,” she told the outlet. “I’m hopeful they’ll move our country forward and protect women’s rights.”
Despite her family’s historic ties to the Republican Party, Barbara Pierce Bush’s endorsement of Harris is not likely to come as a surprise to those familiar with her recent history.
In 2017, she spoke at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in her home state of Texas, noting that she’d anticipated Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump in the presidential election the previous year.
