(CNN)Former President George H.W. Bush said Monday that he will vote for Hillary Clinton in November, according to sources close to the 41st President -- an extraordinary rebuke of his own party's nominee.

The sources said this was not the first time Bush had disclosed his intention to vote for Clinton.

The comments came during a receiving line for board members of the bipartisan Points of Light Foundation when Bush was speaking to Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, Robert F. Kennedy's daughter and the former Maryland lieutenant governor. There were roughly 40 people in the room, and it's not clear how many people heard him, though multiple sources did.

The Republican former president's embrace of the Democratic nominee represents a dramatic new chapter in the complicated three-decade-old relationship between the two most prominent families in American politics.

2. I was a George HW Bush voter back in 1988

The last Republican presidential candidate I voted for. By 1991, I'd decided that moderate Republicanism was now out of fashion in the Republican Party, the Cold War was over, and it was time to vote for a peacetime President. I voted for Bill Clinton and have voted for Democrats ever since.

George HW Bush was the last Republican president that deserved to be called competent.
