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.

They aren’t getting the Republican Party back.
“Fundamentally fair” is how GWB spells “Orangemanbad”.
Spit.
Yup... a coup, fundamentally fair, like what Carter said about Venezuela
F**k you George. And to think I voted for you.
And like his partner in crime he hasn’t seen the evidence that has been accumulated, including affidavits from poll workers.
“Mostly legitimate” has become the new “mostly peaceful.”
Thankfully for George W. Bush, he didn’t have himself to deal with when he was trying to keep Al Gore from stealing the 2000 election.
This election was fundamentally fair and Epstein also killed himself.
Sorry excuse for a human
How can that man be a Christian?
FUGWB!
Neocons for Biden!
Is a “fundamentally fair” election kinda like a “mostly peaceful” demonstration?
Glad to see both Bush’s and Romney agreeing with Trump that there was FRAUD (although they claim, without evidence, that there wasn’t ‘that much’ fraud, so it’s ok). Anyway, since there was fraud, it sounds to me that the fraud needs to be INVESTIGATED and action taken so it doesn’t happen again - and we can QUANTIFY how much fraud there was.
London Daily Mail floated the idea of putting Tony Blair and GW Bush on trial for having started the ridiculous Iraq War. The conclusion was that Blair could be in the dock but that GW Bush would have to be excused bc he was too stupid to understand what he had been talked into doing. Further evidence of the perfidy of his handlers, right here today.
Like mostly pure drinking water.
