Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton plan to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony, despite earlier reports that both families might not attend. Until Tuesday, Jimmy Carter was the only former president to RSVP to the 58th presidential inauguration. According to a statement released by Bush, he and former First Lady Laura Bush “are pleased to be able to witness the peaceful transfer of power—a hallmark of American democracy—and swearing-in of President Trump and Vice President Pence.” Clinton and his wife, former Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, will also reportedly attend, despite the ugly attacks against them leveled by Trump during the campaign, out of “respect for the peaceful transfer of power.” George W.H. Bush, who is now 92 years old, has said he will not be attending, citing his age.
