George W. Bush will visit the fundraising circuit for GOP candidates

Former President George W. Bush is expected to complete several fundraisers for GOP candidates in the coming days in Florida and Texas.

Scott's Palm Beach fundraising campaign, presented as a $ 1,000 to $ 25,000 private event per person in an unknown location, will benefit Scott's campaign and the Senate National Committee (NRSC).

"Gov. Scott is pleased to accept the support of President Bush, Vice President Pence and others who share his views on the need to reform Washington. The governor appreciated the president's candidacy when he came to Tampa in July, "said Chris Hartline, Scott's spokesman.

A spokesman for Bush's office told the newspaper that the former president hoped to help his party maintain the GOP majority in the Senate while campaigning for vulnerable House Republicans.

"Although he prefers to consider himself removed from politics, President Bush recognizes how important it is to keep the Senate and decided to help some key candidates," said spokesman Freddy. Ford.

Bush has largely escaped public scrutiny since leaving office, but in July he issued a rare condemnation of intransigent rhetoric against immigrants in the context of the Trump administration's family separation crisis.

"I think it does not recognize the valuable contributions of immigrants to our society," Bush said in July. "And that masks the fact – rhetoric does – that the system is broken and needs to be repaired."

Politico reports that the former president will be back on the campaign trail next month for yet-announced fundraisers for two other Senate candidates: Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley (R) and Mike Braun (R) ) from Indiana Sens.

The races, with Scott and Cramer, are among the most watched in the country as Republicans push to defend their majority to 51-49 seats in the Senate.

A series of polls showed that Democrats had an advantage over a generic ballot before the November mid-term elections. Democrats hope to have at least 23 seats to regain control of the House.
