‘I like Republicans’: Biden calls George W. Bush ‘a decent guy’

Published



Joe Biden told a group of high-dollar donors George W. Bush is a “decent guy,” adding the former president to the list of Republicans whom he has praised.

“Those of you who do know me know you’ve never, ever, heard me talk about a president the way I am talking today,” Biden, 76, told a group of around 80 high-dollar donors in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on Monday, referencing his critical comments about President Trump. “I had significant disagreements with W; he’s a decent guy, I just had real disagreements with him. I had disagreements with President Reagan, who I knew well. But I never quite thought we’d be where we are.”
