Biden and Trump spoke by phone last week

President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump spoke on the phone over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to two people familiar with the call.

President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump spoke on the phone over the Thanksgiving holiday last week, according to two people familiar with the call.

The previously unreported phone call marks the only known time Biden and Trump have spoken since the president-elect visited the White House for a meeting in the Oval Office on Nov. 13.

The two people familiar with the conversation said Trump called Biden to wish him a happy Thanksgiving. They said the conversation between the two leaders was brief and not substantive.

The president and first lady Jill Biden spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Nantucket, Massachusetts, with close family, including their son Hunter and daughter Ashley.

When asked by reporters last Friday whether he expected to speak with Trump again before the inauguration, Biden said: “I expect so.”
