In a historic Oval Office meeting, President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump pledged a “smooth” transition of power, marking Trump’s first return to the White House in four years. Biden assured Trump his team would “do everything we can to make sure you’re accommodated.” Trump expressed gratitude for Biden’s commitment to a seamless handover, contrasting with the contentious post-2020 election period. Notably, First Lady Jill Biden welcomed Trump, while Melania Trump did not attend. As they met, Senate Republicans selected John Thune as majority leader, and Republicans secured control of the House, solidifying Trump’s support in Congress.
