Historic Oval Office Meeting Between Biden and Trump Set
President Biden and President-elect Trump will meet in the Oval Office, marking a return to the tradition of outgoing presidents meeting the incoming ones. This meeting is scheduled for Wednesday at 11:00 am at the invitation of the outgoing President Trump. In 2020, Trump did not host Biden post-election.

President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump will come together in the Oval Office this Wednesday, the White House announced on Saturday.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's statement confirmed that at Trump's invitation, the two will meet at 11:00 am as part of the traditional post-election protocol.
In 2020, this decorum was bypassed, with Trump not extending the customary invitation to Biden after his electoral defeat.
