As many Republicans continue to buck their party’s nominee and nominate Vice President Harris for the White House, calls are mounting for former President George W. Bush to denounce former President Trump.
The Harris campaign has touted that more than 200 Republicans have endorsed the vice president, including former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and many former Trump insiders. It also includes former vice president to Bush, Dick Cheney.

He noted that Bush is “apparently above such petty concerns,” pointing to recent reports that said he is not endorsing anyone in the race for the White House. Multiple outlets reported that Bush’s office released a statement that said: “President Bush retired from presidential politics years ago.”
“But it doesn’t work that way. When your country calls, you can’t just roll it over to voicemail because you don’t want to deal with it, especially when you are an elder statesman like an ex-president. Patriotism is for life,” Truax wrote, noting that former President Jimmy Carter said he hopes he can live to cast his vote for Harris.

How many fracking jobs are in Pennsylvania and how important is Pennsylvania to win the election?
So years ago when she sided with republicans and cast the tiebreaking vote against a fracking ban…
She was planning to run as president and need Pennsylvania?
Or are you just trying to rationalize her behavior after the fact instead of actually learning what really happened?
Harris, who ran for President in 2020 — and is in the upper echelon of the DNC, voted in favour of fracking in Biden’s IRA bill because she:
A) Was planning on running for President again and needs Pennsylvania
And
B) Wants democrats in Senate and Congressional races to win in Pennsylvania so her party can hold power in those chambers.
There is nothing about her behaviour that needs rationalizing. Every stance she has compromised on is in service of getting elected and maintaining the power bases that she needs to hold onto power.
