In 2016, Mrs. Bush campaigned for her son, Jeb, in the Republican presidential primary in [[New Hampshire]]. She was photographed with her walker in the cold weather trying to convince voters of her son's qualifications. Earlier, she had discouraged her son from seeking the presidency because of the "family dynasty" consideration. Jeb Bush's candidacy went nowhere, and the party chose the outsider candidate, [[Donald Trump]]. George and Barbara Bush indicated that they voted for the unsuccessful [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] nominee, [[Hillary Clinton]] in the race against Trump though all the Bushes owed their longstanding political careers to Republican voters. George W. Bush would not say whether he voted for Trump or Clinton. Jeb's son, [[George P. Bush]], the Republican land commissioner in Texas, did endorse Trump; he is the only Bush family member holding elected office and faces voters again in the November 6 [[general election]].
