Notably, Trump did not hold this customary meeting with Biden after losing the 2020 election. However, following his successful bid for the presidency this year, Trump, a Republican, defeated Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris, becoming the first former president to reclaim office since Grover Cleveland in 1892.

The White House confirmed that Biden called Trump this past Wednesday to congratulate him on his victory and extend the invitation for an Oval Office visit.
