Neil Bush, brother of George W. Bush, says he voted for Talarico
Bush said his vote reflected concern over Ken Paxton and praise for James Talarico’s character, as polls show a tight Senate race.
- 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.
