President-elect Donald Trump said he was "looking forward" to the meeting with Joe Biden, which will serve to prepare the arrival of the next administration. Democrats have already guaranteed that the transfer of power will be "peaceful" and, among the collaboration, there are names like Elon Musk who could be on the table to be 'reinforcements' in this administration.
The still President of the United States, Joe Biden will receive Donald Trump, his successor to the position, on Wednesday.
"Following President Joe Biden's invitation, he will meet with President-elect Trump on Wednesday, in the Oval Office," the White House spokeswoman announced this Saturday.
The meeting between the two politicians will take place a week after Donald Trump won the presidential election, in which he was running against Biden's current 'vice', Kamala Harris. Remember that Biden even advanced to a second candidacy for president, but after strong criticism of his apparently deteriorating state of health, he ended up leaving - passing the 'torch' to Kamala, and providing her with his support.
After it was confirmed that Donald Trump would be the 47th president of the United States, taking office in January, Democrats rushed to ensure that there would be a "peaceful transfer of power" on their part - first, with a speech by Kamala Harris and, on next, with a statement to the country by Joe Biden.
What's next? And who?
The meeting will serve to prepare for the arrival of the next Trump administration, in which figures such as businessman Elon Musk or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could play important roles.
It is worth remembering that the last one, nephew of former president John F. Kennedy, was also in the race for the White House, giving up after becoming an "impeachment". His Democratic family even accused him of treason when he showed his support for Donald Trump, who said straight away that he could have a role in his administration.
Donald Trump, who never acknowledged his defeat in 2020 and who boycotted Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony, said on Thursday that he was "looking forward to this meeting" at the White House, according to his team.
The real estate tycoon - target of two assassination attempts during the campaign, accused and convicted in criminal and civil proceedings - has 74 days to assemble his government team.
The Republican made his first major appointment on Thursday: Susie Wiles, the architect of his campaign, will be his chief of staff, an ultra-strategic position that has never before been held by a woman.
The Republican surpassed the 270 votes needed in the electoral college, when the results are still being counted. Trump also remains ahead of his Democratic opponent in the popular vote, with 50.7% against 47.7% for Kamala Harris.
The Republican Party also recovered the Senate (upper house of Congress) by surpassing the mark of 51 elected representatives, while in the Chamber of Deputies (lower house) the latest data indicate that it is also ahead in the count, with 211 mandates, just seven from majority.
