JUST IN: Biden Invites Trump To White House To Begin Transition

President Biden has formally congratulated President-elect Trump on his historic victory and invited him to the White House in order to formally begin the transition of power.

Biden reportedly called the president-elect and congratulated him on his victory not long after Vice President Harris did the same a few hours earlier. “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. The president then invited his former rival to the White House in order to begin the peaceful transfer of power.

Vice President Harris also received a phone call from her former running mate, who congratulated her on running a “historic” campaign.

Vice President Harris and President-elect Trump spoke over the phone early Wednesday morning, according to a statement released by the Trump Campaign. The Democratic Party nominee told her Republican rival that she would work to ensure a peaceful transition of power over the coming weeks and congratulated him on a historic victory.

Harris said more of the same when she formally conceded the race while addressing her supporters at Howard University, her alma mater, in Washington D.C.

The concession comes after Trump cruised to victory in what is being described as the greatest political comeback in American history. The Republican nominee managed not only to secure 292 electoral votes — sweeping all seven battleground states — but also win the popular vote. As votes continue to be tabulated, the president-elect is on pace to secure a little over 51 percent of ballots cast, while Harris is on pace for a little over 47 percent.

Trump would be the first Republican to secure the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004 if the final batches of votes don’t overwhelmingly favor the Democrats.

Third-party candidates appear to have taken more votes away from the Harris-Walz Campaign, particularly Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who garnered significant support from Muslim voters in Michigan.
