Biden congratulates Trump on election victory, invites him to White House

President Joe Biden on Wednesday called President-elect Donald Trump to congratulate him on his election victory and invited him to a meeting at the White House during the presidential transition period – an invitation which Trump did not extend to him just four years ago. 

“President Biden expressed his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of working to bring the country together,” the White House said in a statement about the phone call.  

Trump Campaign Spokesperson Steven Cheung confirmed the call, saying in a statement that “President Trump looks forward to the meeting, which will take place shortly, and very much appreciated the call.”
