Barbara Pierce Bush endorsed Kamala Harris for president in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE on Tuesday. She campaigned for Harris with friends in Pennsylvania over the weekend
Who is this for? They’re acting like getting endorsements from the families of Bush and Cheney is like getting an endorsement from Ronald Regan, but Bush and Cheney were not popular at the end of their administration; they started two interminable wars and ended with the largest recession in recent history. Trump cut his teeth in 2016 by trashing George Bush and curb-stomping his brother in the primary. Conservatives who are still open to Trump probably aren’t huge fans of the Bush family! All this is doing is demoralizing the progressive base and showing conservatives that the kind of Republicans they rejected in 2016 support Harris.

This stuff does get traction with the late election cycle undecided voters. Obligatory undecided voter sketch from SNL.
