Tycoon who is cousin of former President George W. Bush expected to launch run for Maine governor
Daily Mail ^ | 10/3/2025 | James Cirrone

Bush, assuming he runs as a Republican, is not likely to align himself with the MAGA movement, as he has called President Donald Trump 'personally troubled'.

And in December 2023, he donated $50,000 to a super PAC that was in support of Nikki Haley, Trump's main rival in the 2024 Republican primaries.

He has not given much to Maine politicians but has supported Senator Susan Collins, a moderate Republican who voted against Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.

Here’s the latest from Maine, the fix is in already, Maine has evidently gone the way of a lot of Blue States by manufacturing enough ballots to ensure democratic victory

250 newly printed ballots with voter information contained delivered by Amazon right to your front door, all they need is to fill out the ballots and send them in, if they’re is one box ballots the likelihood is they’re dozens more out there

A couple of critters from Maine went with the GOP on the shutdown, which means it must be in play. That means the uniparty needs to throw a wrench into their gov’s race, with that wrench apparently being another globalist faux-GOP Bush.

Yuck!

Maine governors can only serve for two consecutive terms.
They can run again after a four year break. Janet Mills is the current governor.

Lived there once, won’t go back for a number of reasons. They just don’t seem to ever get anything right in that state.

if this RINO POS gets the nomination then every MAGA Republican must vote for the Democrat! The Bush family must be permanently barred from returning to power! They destroyed this country!

Yep I lived there most of my life. Moved to Florida and it’s somewhat better although starting to have problems. ( too many illegals/ insurance costs insanely high/traffic approaching CA levels / housing costs out of reach for most / food prices high etc.) But at least the chance of being shot/raped is slightly lower)

No...Maine only has 4EVs. Better to trade Colorado for Alberta.

Best piece of advice (only one actually) from Jesse Jackson - “Stay out the Bushes!”

Well? What is his first name? Buyer beware!
Too bad for Prescott Bush. He (son of Jeb!) showed a glimmer of Non Globalist ,independent thinking. Bad timing.

I get the impression, GWB has been “somewhat mentally checked out” for several years. Who can forget those pictures of him holding hands with Mike Obama at a funeral, casually swinging the clasped hands to and fro.
