The highest-ranking Black member of Congress says former President George W. Bush lauded his role as a "savior" in helping get President Joe Biden elected to the White House.
U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn said Wednesday on a call with reporters that the Republican former president told him ahead of the inaugural ceremony that, if he had not given Biden the boost he did ahead of South Carolina's primary, "we would not be having this transfer of power today."
Clyburn says Bush went on to say that Biden was "the only one who could have defeated the incumbent president," Donald Trump. Trump and the Bush family didn't get along.
Clyburn's pivotal endorsement ahead of South Carolina's Democratic primary helped propel Biden to the nomination. Biden won South Carolina by a margin of nearly 30 points.
Clyburn, South Carolina's only Democratic representative in Congress, is the dean of the state's Democrats and the third-ranking member of the U.S. House.

A man who shall live in infamy. A black man from South Carolina having much the same motive and anti-people agenda as a billionaire Jewish man from New York, Bloomberg. Allied against a democratic socialist populist who would have won a far greater landslide against Trump than Biden could manage. A better man than Biden. Indeed, better than Biden, Clyburn and Bush put together. Clyburn touting praise from a liar on the Iraq war, a permissive man toward torture, a former president who left office with a lower popular opinion that Trump even. The dude who permitted the mortgage bubble to fester on his watch, and had the bubble break with disastrous consequences.
A man who likes Biden.
We are in for hard times. We were set up. We were sold out. First they gave us the second of the Clintons, which was a disaster giving us four Trump years instead.
Now, another "gift" from dubious personnel.
Time for a third party?
