Biden and Trump Meet for Transition Talks

President Joe Biden is scheduled to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday at 11 a.m. to facilitate a smooth transition of power following Trump's recent election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. This meeting marks a return to tradition after the previous transition was marred by Trump's refusal to concede and his false claims about the 2020 election. Biden has expressed his commitment to ensuring a peaceful transfer of power, stating he would direct his administration to assist Trump's team. Trump, who secured 301 electoral votes, is the first former president to regain the White House since Grover Cleveland. Biden congratulated Trump on his victory and called for respect for the integrity of the electoral process. The transition will officially culminate in Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025.
