Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who ran against President Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, said that Trump “couldn’t have been nicer” following George H.W. Bush’s death.

Bush said at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council’s annual meeting in Washington that President Trump called him after his father, the 41st president of the United States, passed away on Nov. 30.
