US President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump met at the White House on November 13, 2024, for an Oval Office meeting. This marked a change from 2020, when Trump declined to meet Biden after their election. During the meeting, Biden congratulated Trump on his victory and expressed his desire for a "smooth transition of power." Trump replied that he appreciated Biden's civility and acknowledged that the transition would be smooth. The two leaders shook hands and held a private meeting in the Oval Office. The meeting was seen as a significant display of normalcy and civility in the aftermath of a contentious election.

    1. Mr President-elect and former president, Donald, congratulations. I'm looking forward to having a smooth transition. We'll do everything we can to make sure you're accommodated, what you need — we're going to get a chance to talk about some of that today. Welcome. Welcome back.
    1. Politics is tough and it's in many cases … not a nice world but it is a nice world today and I appreciate very much a transition that's so smooth, it'll be as smooth as it can get and I very much appreciate that.
