George W. Bush's Brother Neil Bush Says He Voted for James Talarico in Texas Senate Race
Bush said character outweighed party and called Paxton’s 2020 election challenge an affront to democratic institutions.
- On Tuesday, Neil Bush, son of former President George H.W. Bush, announced he voted early for Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race, opposing Trump-backed Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton.
- Bush wrote on Facebook that he is "deeply troubled by Paxton's conduct" as Texas Attorney General, specifically citing Paxton's 2020 election challenges designed to keep President Donald Trump in power.
- The lifelong Republican praised Talarico, whom he has never met, for his "integrity, civility, humility" and ability to seek common ground, adding that character "matters more than party affiliation."
- This endorsement follows a $2,500 donation from Barbara Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush, to Lone Star Rising PAC supporting Talarico, reflecting divisions within the prominent political dynasty.
- Talarico maintains a narrow lead in recent CBS News polling, battling Paxton in a closely watched Senate race that could determine party control of the chamber.
