President-elect Donald Trump is set to meet with outgoing President Joe Biden in the Oval Office next Wednesday, as announced by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. This meeting is part of the transition process, marking a shift from 2020 when Trump, after disputing the election results, did not host Biden at the White House. Biden has emphasized his commitment to ensuring a peaceful and orderly transition, underscoring his belief that this is what the American people deserve.
Meanwhile, Republicans are close to securing control of Congress, needing only a few more seats to hold a majority in the House of Representatives. With Republicans already winning the Senate, the party stands poised to advance its policy goals, including tax cuts, deregulation, and stronger border controls, with a unified government.
