Lauren Bush Lauren, the former model who is a granddaughter of one former Republican president and the niece of another, is with her.

Lauren, whose handbag and clothing company FEED Projects also provides meals to impoverished nations, posted a photo of Hillary Clinton to her Instagram account, captioning it “#ImWithHer us.” The post had garnered more than 4,000 likes on Facebook as of Monday afternoon.


Lauren’s odd first name-last name combination comes from her marriage to David Lauren, the son of fashion designer Ralph Lauren. She is the daughter of Neil Bush, the fourth of six children of George H.W. and Barbara Bush.

While Lauren is thus far the only member of her prominent GOP family to publicly back Clinton, her grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, has privately said he plans to support the former secretary of state.

Other members of the Bush family have, to varying degrees, stayed away from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Former President George W. Bush has conspicuously refused to endorse his party’s candidate, while former 2016 candidate and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has said he will not vote for the Manhattan billionaire. Only Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, Jeb Bush’s son, has committed to supporting Trump.

The endorsement of Clinton from Lauren Bush Lauren comes as a sea of prominent Republicans has rushed away from Trump in the wake of his most recent controversy, the publication of audio clips by The Washington Post in which he discusses in graphic detail how his celebrity status allowed him to sexually assault women with impunity.
