The nephew of President George W. Bush said his presidential uncle and grandfather could potentially cast votes for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8, according to the DallasNews.com.

George P. Bush, Texas' land commissioner and the son of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, told a small group Tuesday in San Marcos, Texas, he was the lone member of his famous political family to vote for Donald Trump, the Republican nominee.

Asked to clarify his remarks later by The Associated Press, George P. Bush said he was solely "speculating" and he had no clue as to who they would vote for.

George H.W. Bush, 92, in September said he would vote for Clinton, according to a CNN report but later told reporters his decision was a private one he didn't want to discuss. George W. Bush has not endorsed either candidate.

Both have refrained from intersecting in the race following Jeb Bush's exit from the race in February. George P. Bush has been vocal about his support for Trump and has pushed the GOP to back the Republican nominee, too.

Many top Republicans intend to vote for Clinton, including former secretary of state Colin Powell, former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, former Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board Chairman Brent Scowcroft, former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
