George W. Bush's daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, 42, joined the Harris campaign last weekend in Pennsylvania to help knock on doors and campaign for the potential future Democratic president. 

Bush's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris came after her mother and father said they had no plans to endorse either candidate for office. They did not vote for either candidate in 2016, writing "None Of The Above" on their ballots. This cycle, a significant cohort of staffers from the administrations of former Presidents George W. and George H.W. Bush have thrown their weight behind Harris, including a former Cabinet member. 

"It was inspiring to join friends and meet voters with the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania this weekend," Bush told People magazine Tuesday. "I'm hopeful they'll move our country forward and protect women's rights." In a photo circulating online, Bush could be seen standing at the front stoop of a home with several others, while donning a "Kamala" hat.

In 2010, Bush, who also has a twin sister, told People that she does not identify with either major political party. But in the past, Bush has supported causes sympathetic to many in the Democratic Party, such as abortion and same-sex marriage. Her mother, Laura Bush, similarly broke with her family's Republican roots in 2010 when she, too, came out in support of abortion and gay marriage.

"I am proud to stand with Planned Parenthood not only because women, regardless of where they are from, deserve to live dignified, healthy lives… because it's a really good investment," Bush said at the time, according to a report from The Texas Tribune. 

In 2009, Bush co-founded a nonprofit called Global Health Corps, which seeks to strengthen health systems through its network of qualified young leaders and health professionals. Today, Bush is a mother of two - Cora and Edward.
