America’s three most recent former presidents have reportedly all said they would publicly take a COVID-19 vaccine once one is approved to help promote the drug’s safety. Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton told CNN of their intentions — while former President Barack Obama said in an interview set to air Thursday he may end up taking a COVID-19 vaccine on TV. Bush has even reached out to White House coronavirus task force members Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx to volunteer to help encourage US citizens to take the vaccine, the former president’s chief of staff,...

Presidential politics is a tough business, especially for incumbents who fail to make the cut as re-elected Commanders in Chief. Jimmy Carter, who rode the wave of anti-Watergate sentiment all the way to the White House in 1976, was ousted in landslide to Ronald Reagan in 1980, courtesy of the economic malaise that engulfed the nation during the late 1970s. George Herbert Walker Bush, elected in a rout of Michael Dukakis in 1988, failed in his re-election efforts as economic woes — and Ross Perot’s third-party candidacy — sealed his fate.

AUSTIN, Texas (CNN) -- Texas Gov. George W. Bush said he will go ahead with forming an administration after Florida officials certified his 537-vote lead in that state's presidential recount Sunday, but Vice President Al Gore prepared to challenge those results in a formal contest. Bush named his running mate, former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, to lead his transition team, and former Transportation Secretary Andrew Card to serve as chief of staff. "This has been a hard-fought election, a healthy contest for American democracy," Bush said. "But now that the votes are counted, it is time for the votes to...

The 1992 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 3, 1992, and was part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose 13 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Georgia was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-AR). The presidential contest in the Peach State was the closest of any state that year with Clinton winning 43.47% to 42.88% over Incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R) by a razor thin margin of 0.59%.

Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller on Tuesday announced a U.S. troop drawdown to 2,500 in both Afghanistan and Iraq, consistent with President Trump’s promises to bring U.S. troops home and his goal to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. “I am formally announcing that we will implement President Trump’s orders to continue our repositioning of forces from those two countries,” Miller said. “By January 15th, 2021, our forces, their size in Afghanistan, will be 2,500 troops. Our force size in Iraq will also be 2,500 by that same date.”

They can’t bare it. A monument honoring “mother of feminism” Mary Wollstonecraft was unveiled in London Tuesday — and immediately sparked backlash for containing a statue of a nude, toned female form. The silver sculpture erected in Newington Green shows a small, naked woman emerging from a swirling mass of bronze, apparently meant to represent the pioneering 18th-century writer’s spirit. The monument was the result of 10 years of work from Mary on The Green campaign, which raised the close to $190,000 required to get the sculpture made,

Jeb is still upset he sucked as a candidate four years ago. I think the unitary promised him his turn and no one thought Trump was for real or a serious contender. Jeb (PLEASE CLAP) sure has been “hopeful and vocal” about Biden. Why is that? He thinks if he shows himself as “way nicer than Trump,” in a few years he can begin doing a slight turn towards the right and people will be so fed up with leftism, he will seem like the “nice answer” and get the Bushes back where they think they belong. I seriously think...

During a protest in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a supporter of President Trump called former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) “a criminal” with the “Bush crime family” after he conceded the presidential election to Democrat Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA). As multiple establishment media outlets called the election for the former vice president, though Trump is contesting a series of purported irregularities and potential fraud, Bush congratulated Biden. “Congratulations to President-elect Biden,” Bush said in a statement. “I have prayed for our President most of my adult life. I will be praying for you and your success. Now is...

To state an obvious thing media will intentionally hide: If George W. Bush had lifted a single finger to help out 2020 GOPers running for House, Senate, Presidency, to say nothing of doing anything helpful since 2016, his words might have some value with 71 million GOP voters.— Mollie (@MZHemingway) November 8, 2020 1. Well said, Mollie. Turns out when it comes to politics the Bush family is focused on the Bush family. And good job, Cindy McCain in Arizona. And hat tip to Tom Ridge in PA. All backstabbing RINOs. https://t.co/cSwaXFQzyp— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 9, 2020...

1. Finally we hear from George W. Bush. He congratulated Biden before canvassing, recounts, and litigation are completed in states where the vote was extremely close.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 8, 2020 2. In 2000, he refused to concede while all this was going on in a single state for 37 days. So the leftwing media pat him on the head and thank him. Truly appalling. Back to painting, George. https://t.co/Z9wO6mHOJ3— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 8, 2020

George W. Bush congratulated Joe Biden on his election victory Sunday - and delivered an unmistakable message to Donald Trump that he must now concede.

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...

The irony of Jeb not waiting for the completion of litigation, when his brother was involved in lawsuits for 37 days before a winner was determined in 2000, is lost on Jeb. The election was 4 days ago with counting continuing even now. https://t.co/Eh71umlQw5— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 7, 2020

Failed Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) congratulated Joe Biden on Saturday for reportedly winning the 2020 presidential election after establishment media outlets called the election in favor of the former vice president. “Congratulations to President-elect Biden. I have prayed for our President most of my adult life. I will be praying for you and your success,” Bush wrote. “Now is the time to heal deep wounds. Many are counting on you to lead the way.”

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) chastised President Trump for “recklessly inflaming destructive and dangerous passions. Even if his claim of a stolen election is true, raising that issue at this late date threatens our democracy. Democratic cheating is, as former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) points out, ‘a time-honored tradition.’ Saner Republicans have long realized that this is something we must learn to live with lest we fatality undermine the unity necessary for Democrats to govern.” “Back in the 1960 election, Richard Nixon was aware that the election was marred by fraudulent votes in Illinois, but decided that for the good...

I voted for Ted Cruz in the 2016 Republican primary election, left my ballot blank in the 2016 general election, and now must decide whom to vote for this year. In several ways, I find Donald Trump over the top and offensive. I have said this on air and on Twitter. He can be too hot to handle, insulting people and often making himself the issue, diverting attention from more important policy matters. Many of my Republican friends, notably women, will not vote for him, not because they are “Republicans in name only” but because the president has given them...
