CurrentReport Blog Outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden is set to meet with President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday, November 13, for a formal transition of power at the White House. According to an official statement from the White House, Biden and Trump will convene in the Oval Office at 11:00 am (1600 GMT), marking a significant moment following the November 5 general election that saw Trump’s historic return to the presidency as the 47th President of the United States.
This meeting underscores Biden’s commitment to a peaceful and orderly transfer of power back to Trump, whom he defeated four years prior. Trump, who notably did not concede the 2020 election, achieved an unprecedented comeback, reclaiming the Oval Office in a decisive victory. The November 5 election result cements a unique era in U.S. politics, with Trump’s return symbolizing an enduring shift towards his hardline, right-wing policies.
