In a significant moment of the presidential transition, President-elect Donald Trump met with President Joe Biden at the White House today, marking the first face-to-face encounter since their June debate. The meeting, part of the formal transition process, focused on ensuring a smooth handover of power, including discussions on national security, legislation, and the economy. This marks a departure from the 2020 transition, when Trump refused to engage with Biden’s team, limiting access to government resources.

While the meeting between the two presidents was described as cordial and constructive, there was a notable break from tradition in the absence of a meeting between First Ladies Melania Trump and Jill Biden. Unlike previous transitions, when the first ladies met to discuss their roles, Melania Trump has chosen not to meet with Jill Biden, though both women have expressed support for their duties.

With Biden’s inauguration approaching, both sides remain focused on completing the transition process, aiming to ensure stability during this pivotal moment in U.S. politics. The meeting between Trump and Biden is seen as a positive step in ensuring a peaceful transfer of power as the nation prepares for a new administration.
