U.S. President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump will meet on Wednesday at the White House on Biden's invitation, a White House spokesperson said on Saturday. Trump will take office on Jan. 20 after defeating current Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov.
Millions of voters who backed Joe Biden in 2020 apparently did not support Vice President Kamala Harris in this year's election. Harris suffered a heavy loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 race, with the Republican on course to win the popular vote and sweep all seven of the key swing states.
President-elect Donald Trump has won Arizona, NBC News projects, putting its 11 electoral votes in his column after he narrowly lost the state to President Joe Biden in 2020.

As for Harris’ loss, Biden praised her for running an “inspiring” campaign and said the country got to see what he had learned early on about Harris, that she has “true character” and “a backbone like a ramrod.” Biden said “we accept the choice” the country made.
