The Complete List Of Past GOP Presidential Ticket Members Who Say They’ll Vote For Trump

WASHINGTON — When Kamala Harris accepted her party’s presidential nomination at the Democratic convention last month, several former presidents, vice presidents and nominees to these posts came together in a show of public support for her bid for the White House.

Barack Obama. Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.). President Joe Biden, who even dropped his reelection bid to unify not just Democrats, but Americans.

And on Donald Trump’s side? Which past Republican presidents, vice presidents and nominees are lining up behind him?

We didn’t see any of them speak in support of him at the GOP convention in July, but surely they’re out there.

Here, presented for the first time, is an exhaustive list of the previous Republican presidents, vice presidents and nominees to these posts who have publicly said they will be voting for Trump in November:

1. Sarah Palin.

That’s it. That’s the whole list.

The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee reaffirmed her support for Trump in March 2023.

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said he is “absolutely not” voting for Trump. Neither is former Vice President Dick Cheney, former vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, or, presumably, former Vice President Dan Quayle, who helped prevent Trump from stealing the election in 2020. Trump’s own former vice president, Mike Pence, whom Trump nearly got killed on Jan. 6, 2021, said “it should come as no surprise” that he will not endorse Trump.

Former Republican President George W. Bush has not said if he’s voting for Trump, but in 2020 he reportedly said he would not support his reelection.

Bush didn’t have a positive response to Trump’s inaugural address in 2016, where Trump described the country as a dark wasteland of American carnage: “That was some weird shit,” Bush reportedly said.
