President-elect Donald Trump accepted an invitation to meet with President Joe Biden at the White House to discuss his peaceful transition to become the nation’s 47th president.
Trump campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung shared the news of the invitation in a statement on Wednesday.
“President Joe Biden called President Donald J. Trump to congratulate him on his victory and extended an invitation to the White House to ensure a smooth transition between the current Administration and the incoming Administration,” Cheung wrote.
“President Trump looks forward to the meeting, which will take place shortly, and very much appreciated the call,” he continued.
Vice President Kamala Harris also called Trump to concede the race on Wednesday. She gave a concession speech Wednesday afternoon at her alma mater, Howard University.
Trump’s inauguration is set to take place on Jan. 20, 2025.
Between his victory and the inauguration, Trump will begin selecting personnel with his transition team, led by co-chairs Howard Lutnick and Linda McMahon. The two leaders are expected to work with White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients during the transition process.
As RSBN previously reported, the co-chairs released a statement late Wednesday addressing the upcoming leadership transitions in the Trump administration.
“Since the formation of President Trump’s transition organization and our announcement as Co-Chairs in August, we have been preparing for President Trump’s next administration. In the days and weeks ahead, President Trump will be selecting personnel to serve our nation under his leadership and enact policies that make the life of Americans affordable, safe, and secure,” they said in the statement.
“We are proud to volunteer our time to present President Trump with a wide array of experts from which he can select for his team. The American people decisively elected President Trump in a historic victory and delivered a mandate that puts the working men and women of our nation first. As he chooses the best people to join his team and best policies to pursue, his transition team will ensure the implementation of President Trump’s common sense agenda starting on Day 1,” they added.
