参议员M和前总统以及他们的妻子一同出现在休斯敦机场的一个飞机库，第41届总统宣布支持麦克恩。

“在接下来的竞选中,我们不能浪费了我们在世界上所扮演的独特角色和承担的责任,而且无可争议的事实是我们要团结大量的共和党人、多数独立派人士以及许多优秀的民主党人。在这个难熬的时期,没有一个人能够比参议员JM更能领导我们国家。”

参议员麦凯恩指出他和前总统布什的两个共同点,他们都是海军飞行员，都曾被击落过.在二战中,布什在太平洋被击落,不久后被救起。M在越南北部被击落,在恶劣的条件中沦为战俘。

在休斯顿的会议中，M感谢前总统对他的支持，并阐述了团结共和党的必要性。“我觉得能得到他的支持是我的荣幸，这也有利于我们继续努力团结我们党。”
