Former US President George W Bush and his wife Laura Bush voted two weeks ago, but did not vote for either major-party presidential candidate this year, a spokesman for the former President said on Tuesday.

"They didn't vote for Hillary; they didn't vote for Trump," spokesman Freddy Ford wrote in an e-mail to The Texas Tribune after radio host Rush Limbaugh suggested on Tuesday that the Bushes had voted for Clinton.

Ford did not say whom they voted for.

Neither George W Bush nor his father, fellow former President George HW Bush, endorsed their Republican Party's candidate, Donald Trump. But it has been an open question whether they would cast a ballot for Trump — or his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.
 
Speculation flared in September that George HW Bush was planning to vote for Clinton. His spokesman neither confirmed nor denied reports at the time.
