    Barbara Bush, daughter of the former president, is campaigning for Harris

    Former President George W. Bush, 78, has said he will not weigh in on this year’s divisive election.

    But his daughter did.

    Barbara Bush, 42, one of the former Republican president’s two children, spent part of the weekend campaigning in Pennsylvania for Democrat and Vice President Kamala Harris, People reported.

    “It was inspiring to gather with friends and voters during the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania this weekend,” Barbara Bush said in a statement to the magazine. “I am hopeful that they will move our country forward and protect women’s rights.”

    The former president’s daughter has previously advocated for abortion and reproductive rights, speaking at a rally for Planned Parenthood in 2017. Before that, in 2010, she told People that she did not identify with either party.

    Her namesake and late grandmother, former first lady Barbara Bush, told USA TODAY’s Susan Page that she “probably” wouldn’t still consider herself a Republican months before her death. The matriarch of a prominent Republican family accused former President Donald Trump of making the party unrecognizable to her.

    Other high-profile Republicans have spoken out against Trump and their support for Harris, including George Bush’s vice president, Dick Cheney. His endorsement came shortly after his daughter and former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney announced she would vote blue in this year’s presidential election.
