In a move steeped in tradition, President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump will convene in the Oval Office on Wednesday, according to a White House announcement on Saturday.
This postelection meeting is customary; however, Trump forwent this practice with Biden following Trump's 2020 election loss.
The upcoming meeting underscores the importance of peaceful transitions of power, though it also highlights past deviations from this norm.
