George HW Bush, 92, plans to vote for Hilary Clinton in November presidential election. During a small gathering with former lieutenant governor of Maryland and daughter of later Robert F. Kennedy, Kathleen Hartington Kennedy, said Bush informed people that he will vote for Clinton.
There is no verification if the people heard it clearly but there are sources confirming the former president's statement as reported by CNN.
Kennedy also posted a photo in her social media account with Bush with a caption, "The President told me he's voting for Hillary!"
In a telephone interview with POLIITICO, Kennedy reiterated that Bush informed her that he would prefer to vote for Democrat.
Spokesperson of Bush, Jim Mc Grath, however explained that the former President will not inform who he will choose prior to the casting of votes. The former first couple George HW Bush and Lady Barbara Bush stayed out from political limelight when their son Jeb Bush lost in the Republican bid for president.
Sources that is close to the former President were disappointed when Kennedy posted the conversation that should be confidential. But the latter chose to not to comment and removed the picture and caption.
Former GOP officials during the Bush administration vocally announced their support to the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton including Brent Scowcroft, former national security, and Carlos Gutierrez, former Commerce Secretary.
If this is confirmed, Republicans remain hopeful that Bush will support Trump before casting the votes some 50 days from now.
