WASHINGTON — A prominent member of the Kennedy family says former Republican President George H.W. Bush told her he planned to vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton for president this fall.
Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the former Maryland lieutenant governor, posted a picture of herself with Bush on Facebook on Monday and added, "The President told me he's voting for Hillary!!" Townsend later confirmed the conversation she had while meeting Bush in Maine to Politico, which shared an image of the Facebook post.
Bush's spokesman, Jim McGrath, said in a statement that the 92-year-old former president's vote was private and that Bush wasn't commenting on the race. McGrath later said on Twitter that he was "still checking" whether anyone was there to verify Townsend's conversation.
Bush hasn't offered support for GOP nominee Donald Trump, who defeated his son Jeb Bush this year in a testy Republican primary.
