However, several senior advisors from both Bush administrations have announced their endorsement of Clinton—such as former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft, former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, and adviser Paul Wolfowitz have stated their support for Clinton.
Jeb Bush, while not announcing his support, has made it clear who he won’t be voting for.
“American voters have made it clear that Washington is broken, but I’m not optimistic that either of the leading candidates for President will put us on a better course,” Jeb wrote in a Facebook post in May.
He went on to state that the Republican candidate didn’t display the “temperament” nor “strength of character” to lead the country. He also said that Clinton was an “untrustworthy liberal politician” that would continue President Barack Obama’s policies.
“In November, I will not vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton,” he added, “but I will support principled conservatives at the state and federal levels, just as I have done my entire life.”
The Bush family, a long staple in the Republican establishment, opted not to attend the Republican convention in July, and have generally stayed on the sidelines when they’ve campaigned for the GOP candidates like John McCain (R-Arz.) and Mitt Romney (R-Mass.).
