This combination of file pictures created on March 6, 2024, showsformer US President and Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump in Clinton, Iowa, on January 6, 2024; and US President Joe Biden in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on November 4, 2023. Biden will meet with President-elect Trump at the White House on November 13, 2024, after the US leader pledged an orderly transfer of power back to the Republican he beat in elections just four years ago.
This type of meeting between the outgoing and incoming presidents was considered customary, but Trump did not invite Biden for one after making unsubstantiated election fraud claims that culminated in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Biden in January will join the tiny club of US presidents to return power to their White House predecessor -- with the one previous instance coming when president Benjamin Harrison handed back to Grover Cleveland in the 19th century.
The 81-year-old president, who dropped out of the White House race in July over concerns about his age, health and mental acuity, called Trump on Wednesday to congratulate him on the election win.Democrats have been pointing fingers over who is to blame for the decisive loss of Vice President Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden at the top of the ticket roughly 100 days before the election.
Pelosi noted that any review of the election should focus on the strengths of Harris, whom she praised for bringing hope to voters.As the Democrats weigh what went wrong, Trump has begun to assemble his second administration by naming campaign manager Susie Wiles to serve as his White House chief of staff.
