The COVID Diaries – 207 8th November
Trump and many of his allies are still refusing to acknowledge that he has lost. However, former Republican President George W Bush has congratulated Joe Biden on winning the election.
Bush is quoted as saying: “I extended my warm congratulations and thanked him for the patriotic message he delivered last night. I also called Kamala Harris to congratulate her on her historic election to the vice-presidency,” the statement read.
“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. 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.”
