Former President George W. Bush congratulated President-elect Joe Biden in a phone call Sunday and said that, while President Donald Trump has the right to pursue legal challenges and recounts, the 2020 race was "fundamentally fair" and "its outcome is clear."
The gesture by Bush, the only living former Republican president, was a break from his party's outgoing president, Trump, who has so far refused to concede the race.
In the statement, Bush said he had called Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Sunday.
"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. "The President-elect reiterated that while he ran as a Democrat, he will govern for all Americans. I offered him the same thing I offered Presidents Trump and Obama: my prayers for his success, and my pledge to help in any way I can."
Bush also offered congratulations in the statement to Trump "on a hard-fought campaign," nodding to his "extraordinary political achievement" of winning the votes of more than 70 million Americans, the second-most in history behind Biden. "They have spoken, and their voices will continue to be heard through elected Republicans at every level of government," Bush said.

Bush is such a Globalist.
Now how would that @sshole W know if the election was fair?! He doesnt know sh*t! What a POS!!!
I just looked it up. Jack McCain not running for office yet. Yet! No more political dynasties.
Can’t he just die?
Shut up you half-wit dolt! Just like your equally half-wit brother Jeb and your half-wit friend Mutt!!!
I wear, as a badge of honor, my temporary ban from FR for criticizing Jesus W. Bush/Jorge Arbusto. I lost faith in him over the Ep-3 Incident, and lost him completely the day after 9/11.
Jesus said you judge a tree by it’s fruit. Not my call as to his faith, but his fruit stinks. Most people do not realize that there is as many fake Christians as fake Biden Ballots.
It’s a freak show, just utterly hard to believe. The left is utterly insane, the entire time Trump was in office they screamed Trump is corrupt and what do they do? They elect a guy who is CLEARLY corrupt!! All month overwhelming evidence of Biden and his son taking bribes, and oh THAT’S OK! But Trump gets impeached for making a freakin phone call.
George W Bush, a disappointment since 2005.
What a traitor. I vow to donate money to any candidate running against a Bush in any election as long as I live.
James Woods, succinct, as usual. America is now supposed to be thrilled at the prospect of a brain addled President being the face of the America. We all know that this is a farce and the commie dems followers do not know who the real, actual, set to be installed leader at an appropriate time, of America is. Unimportant to them in any case.
President Trump has sure helped us all see who those seditious and traitorous. Never forget.
GW, the chief of the chicken hawks.
Have a dozen GWB books...can’t even give them away...so will put in burn pit..and never, never will I support a BUSH again...
was a worker and supporter of GWB both of his terms...
REGRET EVERY MIN. OF MY TIME I GAVE TO THEM...WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN...
If it really was “fundamentally fair” would we be seeing these legal challenges? I think not in this case.
the 2020 race was “fundamentally fair”
Gee, I am starting to feel like I’m on the wrong side......
Yeah, right.
Trump is the speed bump. These Aholes are the speed lane to Marxism. Ef em.
Bush was a pussy and still is.
