Biden welcomes Trump to White House with concise greeting.

On Monday, at the White House, President Biden conveyed a succinct message to President-elect Trump.

As the 47th president arrived outside the White House with his wife, Melania Trump, Biden shouted "Welcome home."

Biden and Jill Biden greeted Trump as he walked up the steps and posed for photos with the couple. Despite the press shouting questions, the Bidens and Trumps did not answer and entered the White House together for tea.

Biden and Trump traveled together to the Capitol for the inauguration ceremony after their private tea concluded. Biden will be sworn in as president around noon ET.

Biden greeted Trump with a two-word message in the Oval Office on Nov. 13 after Trump won the presidential election.

The welcoming tone of the Democratic president's victory was a stark contrast to the combative nature of the June debate between Biden and Trump, as his rocky performance ultimately led to him suspending his re-election campaign and Harris topping the ticket.

In July 2024, Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which caused ripples throughout the election cycle.

Despite concerns about Biden's age and mental fitness, Democratic donors and insiders urged him to remain in the race, and Harris was ultimately chosen as the nominee without any primary. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was her vice presidential running mate.
