Bill and Hillary Clinton haven't committed themselves to attending Donald Trump's inauguration, which looms less than a month away, after a bruising campaign that left the Democratic nominee and her former-president husband with bloodied reputations at Trump's hands.
So far Jimmy Carter, age 92, is the only former president who has said he will be there on January 20.
George H.W. Bush, just four months younger, has said he will not come to the inauguration, and cites his old age as the reason why, according to Politico.
George W. Bush won't make up his mind until January, his spokesman Freddy Ford told the newspaper.

Neither Bush endorsed Trump during the general election, following a primary season in which the president-elect relentlessly pilloried Jeb Bush as 'low energy.'
Carter endorsed Clinton. He announced this month during a Sunday school class he teaches in his home state of Georgia that he would be at Trump's inauguration.
Every living former president attended President Barack Obama's 2008 inauguration. That included Clinton, Carter and both Bushes.
But Politico reports that some in the Clinton camp are advising Bill and Hillary to stay away from Washington this time around.
