Karl Rove, a former adviser to President George W. Bush, has announced his intention to vote against a Republican candidate. He will support Jon Rosenthal, a Democrat, instead of Bo French, who made racist comments about South Asian students. Rove reportedly called French a "bigot" during a private event.

Rove's decision marks a departure from his usual support for Republican candidates. He has a long history of working with the Texas GOP and has rarely voted for Democrats.

Further details about Rove's comments and decision are available from the Texas Tribune, which broke the story.
