In a clear sign of the discrepancies within the Republican party, and without waiting for a signal from Trump, former President George W. Bush decided to send a personal congratulation to Democrat Joe Biden on his electoral victory: "Although we have political differences, I know that Joe Biden is a good man who has earned the opportunity to lead and unify the country. "
The former US president called the elections "fair" and "whole" and thanked Biden for the "patriotic message" he delivered in his acceptance speech on Saturday.
"Americans can be confident that
these elections were essentially fair
, that their integrity was upheld and their outcome is clear," he added.
Bush said he had
spoken with Biden on the phone to congratulate him
and said he offered the same thing as previous presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama:
"My prayers for your success, and my commitment to help in any way I can
.
"
The Texan politician also wanted to recognize the
great efforts of the Trump campaign
, with which he stressed "he won the vote of more than 70 million Americans", something he described as an
"extraordinary political achievement
.
"
He also spoke about the high turnout in the elections, which he said is a "positive sign of the health of our democracy and a reminder to the world of its strength", while underscoring the fact that Trump
has the right to ask for a vote count and present legal resources
, which will lead to "any unresolved matter will be duly judged."
Bush, who also congratulated Senator Kamala Harris for being elected vice president of the country, insisted that
the country "must unify
for the good of our families and our neighbors, and for our nation and its future."
"There is no problem that it does not succumb to the joint will of a free people. ... We urge all Americans to join us in wishing
our next president and our next vice president the best
as they prepare to take charge of their important responsibilities ", settled.
