WASHINGTON (AA) – President Joe Biden called President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to congratulate him on his election victory and vowed to work toward a “smooth transition” ahead of January’s inauguration.
During a telephone call, Biden invited Trump to meet with him at the White House and said staff would work to coordinate “a specific date in the near future” for the sit-down to take place, according to the White House.
“President Biden expressed his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of working to bring the country together,” it said.
Biden will address the nation Thursday “to discuss the election results and the transition,” it added. He also called Vice President Kamala Harris and congratulated her “on her historic campaign.”
Trump will be inaugurated for a second White House term on Jan. 20, 2025. Harris, as vice president, is slated to oversee the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol.
