Historic Presidential Transition Meeting Awaits in Oval Office

President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are set for a traditional postelection meeting in the Oval Office next Wednesday. Despite this being a longstanding custom, Trump skipped the meeting with Biden after his 2020 election defeat.

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.
