“I congratulate President Trump on his election as 47th President of the United States of America, as well as Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and their families,” he said in a statement released about Wednesday 11 a.m. ET.

Bush declined to endorse Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris before the results were known, despite Bush’s former running mate, Dick Cheney, endorsing Harris. Cheney’s daughter, Liz Cheney, also called for Bush to endorse Harris, while his own daughter, Barbara Bush, canvassed for Harris in Pennsylvania last month.

The Associated Press declared Trump the winner after he sealed Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes, pushing him past the 270-vote threshold needed, at 5:34 a.m. ET.

Per NTD News:

Former President George W. Bush on Wednesday congratulated President-elect Donald Trump’s victory during Tuesday’s presidential election.

“The strong turnout in this election is a sign of the health of our republic and the strength of our democratic institutions. Laura and I are grateful to the election officials, poll workers, and volunteers who oversaw a free, fair, safe, and secure election,” Bush said in a statement, referring to former First Lady Laura Bush.

“We join our fellow citizens in praying for the success of our new leaders at all levels of government,” the Republican former commander-in-chief added, while also thanking President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris “for their service to our country.”

Bush did not endorse any candidate in the 2024 election, despite calls from former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, a Republican and the daughter of his former vice president, to back Harris. Former Vice President Dick Cheney had issued a statement saying he is endorsing Harris for president.
