Former U.S. President George W. Bush, who is a member of the Republican Party, has no intention of endorsing any candidate or revealing how he or his wife, former first lady Laura Bush, will vote in the upcoming November presidential election, according to a spokesperson’s statement on Saturday.

“He stepped back from presidential politics years ago,” the unnamed spokesperson commented.

This statement was released a day after Bush’s vice president, Dick Cheney, declared he would vote for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, breaking from party lines and choosing to oppose former President Donald Trump.

Cheney, who held the vice presidency under Bush from 2001 to 2009, expressed on Friday that “in the 248 years of our nation’s history, we have never seen an individual who poses a greater danger to our republic than Donald Trump.”

Harris responded on Saturday, stating that the endorsements from both Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz, a former U.S. Representative, were “courageous” acts of prioritizing the nation over party loyalty.

Mike Pence, who served as vice president under Trump for four years, has indicated that he also will not endorse his former boss but has refrained from supporting Harris.
