Newly elected President Donald Trump and outgoing President Joe Biden met at the White House on Wednesday, November 13, to discuss the transition of power. Biden warmly welcomed Trump to the White House, marking the first time President-elect Trump has visited since his victory in the recent November 5 election.

This election follows Biden's initial victory over Trump in 2020, which led to Trump’s departure from the White House. Now, after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump is set to return, with the presidential inauguration scheduled for January 20, 2025. His visit to the White House comes just two months before the official transfer of office.

During the meeting, Biden congratulated Trump on his win and assured him of a peaceful power transfer. "Welcome back," Biden reportedly told Trump, emphasizing a smooth transition process.

Initially, Biden himself ran against Trump in this election. However, due to concerns within the Democratic Party regarding his age, Biden decided to step aside a few months prior to the election, paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to take on Trump as the Democratic candidate. Ultimately, Harris was unable to secure victory against Trump in this closely watched election.
