Is a Bush running for president in 2028?
No member of the Bush family is running for president in 2028. Neither Jeb Bush, George P. Bush, nor any other Bush has filed, formed a campaign, or been counted among the 2028 contenders as of mid-2026.
Searches for 'Bush 2028' usually point to Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and 2016 presidential candidate, or George P. Bush, the former Texas land commissioner - the family's most recent active politicians. As of mid-2026, neither is running for president in 2028. Neither has filed with the Federal Election Commission or signaled a campaign, and no major tracker counts a Bush among the contenders.
The former presidents in the family are not factors. George H. W. Bush died in 2018, and George W. Bush served two terms (2001-2009), so the 22nd Amendment bars him from being elected again.
The Bush family, once a Republican dynasty that produced two presidents, has largely stepped back from electoral politics since Jeb Bush's 2016 primary loss to Donald Trump. 'Bush 2028' talk recurs online but is not grounded in any move a family member has actually made.
