After the failed campaign of his brother, former President George W. Bush will not make another endorsement in the presidential primary, according to a Tuesday night report from Politico.

“While I would never rule anything out, he definitely doesn’t have any plans to make an endorsement,” the aide told Politico.

This means Bush will likely not be involved in the movement attempting to stop frontrunner Donald Trump.

“He and Mrs. Bush voted early in Texas for Jeb. Now, like a lot of voters, they are watching to see who can unite the party, represent conservative values and serve as president of all the people,” an aide told Politico.
