Biden invited Trump to meet with him as part of a long-standing tradition signifying the transfer of power as the government changes hands.

It’s the first time the pair have met since their presidential debate in late June, before Biden decided to end his re-election campaign.

In 2020, Trump refused to invite Joe Biden because he falsely claimed that he had not lost the election.
