Update: Dave Mason of BetOnline has opened the line at +425 for a Bush endorsement.

Bush’s voice has the singular power to reach moderate Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters, freeing them to walk away from the Party of Trump, writes Fox News contributor Juan Williams in an opt-ed piece for The Hill.
“The former president reportedly did not vote for Trump in 2016 but he did not vote for the Democrat, Hillary Clinton, either.
“In a 2017 speech, Bush seemed to be rebuking the current president for allowing national politics to become “degraded by casual cruelty ... argument turns too easily into animosity.” He avoided directly calling out Trump by name.
“Bush has also spoken up for longstanding Republican beliefs now under fire from the current administration.”
Making reference to the three living Democratic former US Presidents - Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama - Williams points out the obvious.
"There is no question about whom Carter, Clinton and Obama plan to support.
"That leaves Bush holding the biggest stick here. Groups of leading conservative thinkers in The Lincoln Project and a new group including several former top GOP officials called Republican Voters Against Trump have set the table for Bush to speak up.
"If he announces he is voting for Biden, it will change some votes."
