On Wednesday morning, the 43rd U.S. President released a statement on Instagram applauding Trump along with Vice President-elect J.D. Vance.
Former President Bush also thanked President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their time in office.
“The strong turnout in this election is a sign of the health of our republic and the strength of our democratic institutions,” the statement from Bush read.
Trump secured the presidency in the early morning hours of Nov. 6, after clinching key swing states like Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Bush served two terms in office from 2001 until 2009. His younger brother, Jeb, ran against Trump in 2016, dropping out during the Republican primaries.
