President Joe Biden and president-elect Donald Trump are meeting in the Oval Office, resuming a tradition that Trump himself flouted in 2020.
Reason for Trump, Biden's meeting
CNN reported on Wednesday, November 13, that Trump met with Biden for a traditional White House sit-down that the president-elect never gave when he left office in 2020.
Interestingly, US President Joe Biden is preparing to hand over the reins of power to the Republican following his election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
But CNBC reported that such a meeting is customary between the outgoing president and the incoming president and is partly meant to mark the start of a peaceful transfer of power under America’s democracy.
