388

WASHINGTON, Jan 6, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – Republican former US president George
W. Bush will attend the inauguration of Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
in Washington on January 20, his chief of staff said Tuesday.

“President and Mrs. Bush look forward to returning to the Capitol for the
swearing in of President Biden and Vice President Harris,” Freddy Ford
tweeted.

“Witnessing the peaceful transfer of power is a hallmark of our democracy
that never gets old,” he added, in a seeming jab at President Donald Trump
who refuses to concede defeat and has not confirmed if he will attend Biden’s
inauguration.
