George W. Bush says he will attend Biden's inauguration as Trump considers plan for a rival
attention-grabbing eventGeorge W. Bush will attend President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration in a show of bipartisan unity which could provide a marked contrast with President Trump's reported consideration of a plan to skip the ceremony and hold a rival attention-grabbing event.
Freddy Ford, President Bush's chief of staff, told multiple outlets that Bush and his wife Laura planned to attend Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris's presidential ceremony on January 20.
"I believe this will be the eighth inauguration they've had the privilege of attending - President Trump's being the most recent - and witnessing the peaceful transfer of power is a hallmark of our democracy that never gets old," Ford said, in a statement cited by Bloomberg.
Bush is one of four living former presidents and the only living former Republican president.
