Former President George W. Bush’s camp is countering a New York Times report that claimed Bush won’t vote for President Trump in November — calling it “completely made up.”

The report published Sunday described how members of the Republican establishment including the two-term former president, his brother former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, former Bush Secretary of State Colin Powell and John McCain’s widow, Cindy McCain, were not backing Trump and, in some cases, voting for Democratic opponent Joe Biden.

Freddy Ford, a spokesman for Bush, said the report was simply not true.

“This is completely made up,” Ford said in an email to the Texas Tribune. “He is retired from presidential politics and has not indicated how he will vote.”

Powell over the weekend said he would be endorsing and voting for Biden.
