They're countering a number of other ex-Bush staffers, including President George H.W. Bush himself, who have expressed support for Hillary Clinton

Donald Rumsfeld, Elaine Chao, John Ashcroft and Ari Fleischer are among the former

While George. H.W. Bush may be voting for Hillary Clinton this fall, more than 50 people who worked for his administration and his son's have formed a coalition in support of Republican nominee Donald Trump.

The boldest-faced names including W.'s Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, his Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, his Attorney General John Ashcroft and Press Secretary Ari Fleischer.

Bush 43's Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson explained the group's thinking in a statement that was pushed out by the Trump campaign earlier this week.

'Americans want to trust our leaders again, to know that they are fighting for everyday Americans by creating jobs, growing our economy, defending our nation from terrorism, and respecting the voters enough to be straightforward and honest and them,' Thompson said.

'Donald Trump and Mike Pence will put America first, and make our country great again,' he added, using the Trump campaign's favorite motto.

This announcement could help change the narrative that most Bush Republicans are abandoning the party and flocking to support Hillary Clinton, whose husband beat President George H.W. Bush in his re-election fight in 1992.

In early August, another group of 50 Republicans – foreign policy and national security experts – came out against Trump.

Writing a letter that was given to the New York Times, they announced: 'We are convinced that in the Oval Office, he would be the most reckless President in American history.'

This group also consisted of a number of bigwigs in the Bush 43 Administration including CIA and National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden, Michele Flournoy, the Defense Department's highest-ranking woman and former Homeland Security secretaries Tom Ridge and Michel Chertoff.

Ridge, speaking to Dailymail.com Wednesday night, confirmed that he still wasn't supporting Trump and also not voting for Clinton.

While there is a definite vote split this year among those who worked for the two Bush White Houses, the new group is grabbing the name 'Bush Alumni Coalition,' calling for 'bold leadership, a strong national defense, sound economic policy and a Supreme Court committed to preserving the freedoms framed in the Constitution' and the election of Trump.

Rumsfeld initially publicized his selection for the White House back in June on Fox News, saying he was 'clearly going to vote' for Trump, saying the choice of Clinton was 'unacceptable.'

When hearing that former President George H.W. Bush was planning to cast a ballot for Clinton, Rumsfeld – who's had a beef since the with Bush 41 since the Ford administration despite working for his son – said he wasn't surprised.
