It\u2019s no secret that the so-called \u201cestablishment wing\u201d of the Republican Party has never been happy with the fact that Donald Trump managed to take over the GOP with his \u201cMAGA\u201d and \u201cAmerica First\u201d agenda. But now a dynastic GOP family is planning to wrest the party from the current president\u2019s clutches once he leaves office in January 2029.<\/p>\n
Former President George W. Bush and his family are reportedly looking to reclaim the Republican Party from President Donald Trump once he leaves office, as indicated by a recent report.<\/p>\n
There are said to be \u201crumors\u201d emerging about a \u201cscheme to end the so-called \u2018Bush Exile\u2019\u201d as part of an initiative to take back control of the GOP from Trump and his Make America Great Again (MAGA) agenda, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, rumors are stirring of a plot to end the so-called \u2018Bush Exile\u2019 and take back the GOP from the so-called scourge of Trumpism,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBehind the scenes, and still with deep connections around the country, a shadow Republican Party is lying in wait to take over when Trump is gone,\u201d the report said. \u201cAnd, while the former president is determined not to publicly criticize Trump \u2013 much to the frustration of some of his former aides \u2013 he may not be averse to quietly helping to shape the Republican Party\u2019s long-term future.\u201d<\/p>\n
One person, described as a \u201cformer Bush official,\u201d told the UK outlet that Trump \u201cknows that there\u2019s no third term option.\u201d The person also admitted that Vice President JD Vance \u201chas a head start\u201d over other possible Republican presidential candidates in 2028.<\/p>\n
A former official from the Bush administration predicted that the 2028 presidential race will present a significant opportunity within the Republican Party.<\/p>\n
Additionally, former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele has been quoted urging the former president to engage more actively with the party, noting that his voice could resonate with many more Americans.<\/p>\n
In an interview with CBS News anchor Norah O\u2019Donnell in 2021, the younger Bush revealed he felt that Trump \u201clacked the \u2018humility\u2019 necessary to be an effective leader.\u201d<\/p>\n
In October 2019, during Trump\u2019s first term, Bush also claimed Trump\u2019s \u201cisolationist United States\u201d was \u201cdestabilizing around the world.\u201d The 43rd president warned that the U.S. becoming isolationist was \u201cdangerous for the sake of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bush\u2019s remarks then came after he led the nation \u201cinto war in Afghanistan and Iraq with more than 4,500 Americans dying in Iraq \u2014 including more than 3,500 killed in combat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Needless to say, several conservative voices rejected the notion that the Bushes should once again become the faces of the GOP.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will never let this happen,\u201d Donald Trump Jr. posted on the X platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, enough. This isn\u2019t going to happen, and frankly, the Bush family has already left the stage, and they should remain off it. Their time is over. It\u2019s done. Second, the base isn\u2019t receptive to their brand of Republican politics anymore,\u201d RedState\u2019s Matt Vespa wrote on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe base is more blue-collar: folks who aren\u2019t supportive of the free-trade bonanza Bush II ran. If the GOP base wasn\u2019t high on Jeb in 2016, what makes you think the 2028 Republican base would go ga-ga over another Bushie running? This isn\u2019t a phase or a fad, guys. The GOP has been transformed under Trump, and it\u2019s not going back,\u201d\u00a0he added<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAnyone who has run against MAGA has been killed politically, with most having their presidential hopes dashed forever,\u201d he noted further. \u201cMove on, Bushies. Let go, and let God.
