Another Bush supports Trump, by George!

Republicans are closing ranks behind Trump.

A rising star in the Bush family has endorsed Donald Trump. George P. Bush has endorsed the Republican nominee, breaking from his father, Jeb Bush.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - George P. Bush has endorsed Donald Trump. George P. is Jeb Bush's son. Despite the close connection and the acrimonious contest between Donald and Jeb, George P. is endorsing Trump anyway.

In a meeting with party activists in Texas, George P. said, "From Team Bush, it's a bitter pill to swallow, but you know what? You get back up and you help the man that won, and you make sure that we stop Hillary Clinton."

George P. Bush, 40, is the Texas Land Commissioner. He was raised in Florida, but opted to make his political career in Texas where his father and grandfather could support him.

Jeb Bush remains firmly in the "Never Trump" constituency of the Republican Party. That group of Republicans has vowed never to vote for Trump, and some have even promised to support his rival, Hillary Clinton instead.

The Never Trump movement has divided the Republican Party, which has mostly coalesced around Trump. While Trump is behind in the polls, he is close to Clinton and represents the best chance Republicans have at regaining the White House. The next president may also appoint up to three new Supreme Court justices.

The stakes are so high, even Republicans who don't prefer Trump are backing him publicly.

Republicans who refuse to back Trump risk the candidate's ire, as well as the wrath of their voters. Those few who have refused to support the people's choice for nominee may not be reelcted to their offices.
