Former President George W. Bush congratulated former Vice President Joe Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris, in a statement Sunday after several outlets projected their election victory.
Bush also congratulated President Donald Trump and his supporters for their “hard-fought campaign” and for earning more than 70 million votes. Multiple outlets, including Fox News and The Associated Press, projected Biden’s win, though the Trump campaign is fighting several legal battles regarding election results.
“Though we have political differences, I know Joe Biden to be a good man, who has won his opportunity to lead and unify our country,” Bush said in the statement. “The President-elect reiterated that while he ran as a Democrat, he will govern for all Americans.”
Bush extended an offer of prayers for Biden’s success and pledged to help in anyway he could. Bush said the voter turnout this election shows a healthy democracy.
“President Trump has the right to request recounts and pursue legal challenges, and any unresolved issues will be properly adjudicated,” Bush said. “The American people can have confidence that this election was fundamentally fair, its integrity will be upheld, and its outcome is clear.”
Bush urged for unity for all Americans to extend their best to Biden and Harris.
“There is no problem that will not yield to the gathered will of a free people,” Bush said. “Laura and I pray for our leaders and their families. We ask for God’s continued blessings on our country.”
The George W. Bush Presidential Center did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Trump has two months...Duck walk Barr, Wray out into the streets.
Top layers of FBI and DOJ sent home and told to stay away.
US Marshalls service and Secret Service to seize and preserve all records.
Within lies the truth.

That is very interesting the Bush family are shirt tale relations of yours. I suppose you can't pick and choose who your relatives might be. ;)

"Maggot" is generous for Bush - but not unexpected.
Netanyahu was unexpected. That's another species of vermin right there.
Faithless bitch. DJT shoulda known better.

I knew a guy from Chicago that was a Marine for 10 years. He was in Beirut when the barracks was bombed. Lucky for him he was not in the barracks at the time.
When he got out he joined the DEA. He told me some interesting stories about our fearless leaders and drugs.
They tapped the private phone line at the Governor's mansion in Little Rock when Bill Clinton was Governor (83-92). They got him on the line telling the party on the other end, "Yeah, go pick up another pound" (of coke).
Clinton has a perforated septum, a hole in his nose from doing too much good coke. If you can get hold of his medical records it would be in there.
They also got the Bush brothers (Jeb and George) on video tape in Miami picking up a kilo of coke. It must have been a big party.
I bet the record of all that activity has been conveniently lost. ;)
