Trump will take office on Jan. 20 after defeating current Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 presidential election
In a significant gesture of transition, U.S. President Joe Biden has invited President-elect Donald Trump to the White House for a meeting set to take place on Wednesday, according to Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. This comes after Trump’s recent victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the closely contested November 5 election.
“At President Biden’s invitation, President Biden and President-elect Trump will meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday,” Jean-Pierre confirmed in a statement on Saturday.
Trump, who will officially take office on January 20, is set to discuss key transition matters with Biden. This historic meeting between the outgoing and incoming presidents underscores the importance of a smooth transfer of power, a foundational principle in American democracy.
