Biden and Trump's Ceremonial White House Transition Meeting

President Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are set to meet at the White House on November 13, initiating the presidential transition process. This traditional meeting underscores the peaceful transfer of power, which was disrupted in 2020. Similar arrangements are underway for Vice President Kamala Harris and her successor, J D Vance.

In a significant step for the United States, outgoing President Joe Biden has extended an invitation to his successor, President-elect Donald Trump, for a meeting at the White House scheduled for November 13.

This time-honored tradition marks the official start of the presidential transition process. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed the meeting, emphasizing its ceremonial nature. The visit typically includes a briefing on key national agendas.

Notably, this year sees Trump re-enter the Oval Office after a gap of four years, making this transition particularly unique. Meanwhile, the vice-presidential transition will also proceed as outgoing VP Kamala Harris prepares to meet her successor, J D Vance.
