Joe Biden will meet with President-elect Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday after the US leader pledged an orderly transfer of power following the Republican’s decisive election victory.
Biden and Trump will meet at the Oval Office at 11:00 am, the White House said Saturday, with the clock ticking down to the ex-president’s return to power in January.
Donald Trump secured a historic return to the White House in the November 5 election, marking over a decade in US politics shaped by his hardline, divisive right-wing stance.
At 78, Trump won by wider margins than in his previous races, despite facing a criminal conviction, two impeachments, and warnings from his former chief of staff labeling him a “fascist.”
Exit polls indicated that voters’ primary concerns were the economy and inflation, which surged under Biden after the Covid pandemic.
After withdrawing from the race in July due to concerns about his ability to serve at 81, Biden called Trump to congratulate him on his victory.
But Trump, a Republican, did not host Biden, a Democrat, for such a meeting after Trump lost the election in 2020.
