Biden and Trump Plan Transition Meeting

President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are set to meet at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the transition of power following Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election. Biden has expressed his commitment to ensuring a peaceful and orderly transition, a process that was not reciprocated by Trump after the 2020 election. Trump, who secured a landslide victory with over 301 electoral votes, will become the second U.S. president to serve non-consecutive terms, following Grover Cleveland. The meeting comes amid criticism of Biden from former Obama staffer Brett Bruen, who has accused Biden of political malpractice and failing to prepare adequately for the election, contributing to Harris's defeat. Meanwhile, Biden's administration is proposing tighter restrictions on energy development to protect the sage grouse, a move likely to be overturned by Trump's incoming administration. The transition is taking place as key GOP figures position themselves for roles in Trump's new administration.
