Donald Trump To Meet Joe Biden At The White House Next Week After Election Victory

Over a week after being reelected to the presidency, Donald Trump is set to sit down with Joe Biden in the White House.

“At President Biden’s invitation, President Biden and President-elect Trump will meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday at 11:00 am,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced this morning of the November 13 sit down. “Additional details to follow.”

Whether those additional detail will include the almost octogenarian 45th and soon-to-be 47th POTUS and the soon-to-be 82-year-old 46th POTUS wearing NFL helmets to stop from clashing or a plethora of aides to buffer their tense conversation remains to be seen, What is clear is that this traditional invite, in line with the smooth transition of power that Biden has promised, is a stark contrast to the lack of an Oval Office invite from Trump when Biden beat him in 2020.

The last time the former Celebrity Apprentice host won the White House, Barack Obama met with Trump within two days of the bitter 2016 election. The 2024 election took place on November 5 with Trump beating Vice President Kamala Harris to sweep the swing states and winning the popular vote for the first time. In the last 24 hours, Nevada was called for Trump, bringing his battleground tally to six.

In a harsh flip of what Biden did when he got into office on January 20, 2021, Trump plans to dismantle most of the current administration’s achievements and policies. Fueled by the ominous Project 2025 and cheered on by Elon Musk and Joe Rogan, self declared dictator for a day Trump will institute mass deportation of illegal immigrants, slash environmental intititives, gut federal agencies and cut taxes for the rich. Or as the president-elect himself said on Election night: “Promises made, promises kept.”
