First meeting after the election

According to information from the White House Communications Office, outgoing President Joe Biden will welcome President-elect Donald Trump in the Oval Office inside the White House at 11:00 a.m. on November 13 (11:00 p.m. Vietnam time). Mr. Biden is expected to discuss the issue of transferring power to his successor. This will be Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump's first extended face-to-face meeting since the presidential election debate in June. The meeting will take place about a week after the election and about 2 months before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in.

White House Practice

It is customary for the outgoing president to invite the president-elect to the White House after the election. The outgoing first lady also extends an invitation to the president-elect's wife. A White House official said Melania Trump, the wife of President-elect Donald Trump, was also invited to the White House to meet with first lady Jill Biden. Trump's newly appointed chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and President Biden's chief of staff, Jeff Zients, have been in contact this week to discuss the transition and coordinate a meeting between the two leaders at the White House.

President Biden pledges smooth transition of power

In the November 5 election, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump won 312 electoral votes, surpassing the number of electoral votes needed to win against Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Mr. Trump declared victory in this year's US election. Immediately after Mr. Trump's victory, incumbent President Joe Biden called to congratulate him and pledged a smooth transition of power, while emphasizing the importance of uniting the country.
