Jeb Bush Congratulates President-Elect Trump

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who at one time was locked in a bitter campaign with Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination, congratulated the President-elect on Wednesday.

Congratulations on your victory @realDonaldTrump. As our President, Columba and I will pray for you in the days and months to come.

Bush did not back Trump's presidential bid, but extended an olive branch to the incoming president, NJ.com reported.

Bush's Tweet came after Trump had announced: "Now it's time for America to bind the wounds of division. I say it is time for us to come together as one united people."
