Former President George H.W. Bush plans to vote for Hillary Clinton in November, the niece of late President John F. Kennedy has written in a Facebook post. “The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!” read the caption of a picture Kathleen Kennedy Townsend posted on Facebook, as she shook the 92 year-old ex-president's hand. The news site Politico posted a screenshot of the picture with the comment.
Ms Townsend, 63, is a Democratic former lieutenant governor of Maryland and the daughter of former attorney general Robert Kennedy, assassinated in 1968. Her uncle was president Kennedy (1961-1963). On Facebook, Ms Townsend is identified as Kathleen Hartington, her middle name. The Bush clan has not offered their support for Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump. “The vote President Bush will cast as a private citizen will be just that: a private vote cast in some 50 days,” said his spokesman Jim McGrath.
