Back then, Republican President George H.W. Bush met with Democrat and President-elect Bill Clinton about two weeks after they squared off on Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>Bush and Clinton talked policy before going together to the Roosevelt Room to meet with their transition staff. Clinton later called the meeting \u201cterrific\u201d and said Bush was \u201cvery helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the decades, such handoff meetings between outgoing presidents and their replacements have been by turns friendly, tense and somewhere in between.<\/p>\n<p>This time, Biden has vowed to ensure a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of working with Trump, who is both his presidential predecessor and successor, to bring the country together. Biden\u2019s White House invitation to Trump includes his wife, the former and now incoming first lady, Melania Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI assured him that I\u2019d direct my entire administration to work with his team,\u201d Biden said of the call with Trump when he made the invitation. The president-elect \u201clooks forward to the meeting,\u201d spokesman Steven Cheung said.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Bendat, a historian and author of \u201cDemocracy\u2019s Big Day: The Inauguration of Our President,\u201d called face-to-face chats between outgoing and incoming presidents \u201chealthy for democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pleased to see that the Democrats have chosen to take the high road and returned to the traditions that really do make America great,\u201d Bendat said.<\/p>\n<h2>Trump has done this before<\/h2>\n<p>This year\u2019s meeting won\u2019t be uncharted territory for Trump.<\/p>\n<p>He and then-Democratic President Barack Obama <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/united-states-government-general-news-2245232cd2cf4a92a7a6d041593b0301\">held a longer-than-scheduled 90-minute Oval Office discussion<\/a><\/span> days after the 2016 election.

Obama White House press secretary Josh Earnest described the meeting as \u201cat least a little less awkward than some might have expected,\u201d and he noted that the two \u201cdid not relitigate their differences in the Oval Office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, that encounter went smoothly enough to reassure a few Trump critics that he might grow into the job and become more presidential in temperament and action \u2014 an assessment quickly subsumed by Trump\u2019s unique relish of bombast and political conflict once his administration began, particularly when it came to his predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>Only about four months later, <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/1b2637860b2042c48b18a26951437d5d\">Trump accused Obama \u2013 without evidence \u2013 of having his \u201cwires tapped\u201d<\/a><\/span> in Trump Tower before the 2016 election.

Bush\u2019s team had.<\/p>\n<p>One recalled that the only question Trump counterparts asked at the time was not about the coming workload or responsibilities, but how best to find an apartment in Washington.<\/p>\n<h2>A tradition, but not a requirement <\/h2>\n<p>The official transition process does not mandate that presidents invite their successors to face-to-face meetings, though it can feel that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe psychological transfer occurs then,\u201d former Vice President Walter Mondale once said.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no record of George Washington scheduling a formal meeting with the nation\u2019s second president, John Adams, before leaving the then-capital city of New York. And Adams, after moving into the White House during his term, never invited his political rival and successor, Thomas Jefferson, over before leaving without attending Jefferson\u2019s inauguration in 1801.<\/p>\n<p>Still, by 1841, President Martin Van Buren hosted President-elect William Henry Harrison \u2014 who had soundly beaten him on Election Day \u2014 for dinner at the White House. He even later offered to leave the official residence early to make room for his successor after Washington\u2019s National Hotel, where Harrison had been staying, became overcrowded. Harrison instead made a brief, preinaugural trip to Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Republican George W. Bush welcomed Obama to the White House in 2008 after calling the election of the nation\u2019s first Black president a \u201ctriumph of the American story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And eight years prior, Bush himself was the newcomer when he met with the outgoing Clinton, who had denied his father a second term. Their chat came just eight days after the Supreme Court resolved the disputed 2000 election, and Bush also later headed to the vice presidential residence to briefly talk with the man he defeated, Al Gore.<\/p>\n<p>Bush and Gore didn\u2019t say what they discussed, though vice presidential press aide Jim Kennedy described the conversation as meant to \u2033demonstrate that this is a country where we put aside our differences after a long and difficult campaign.\u2033<\/p>\n<p>Trump and Harris spoke by phone this past week but don\u2019t have a face-to-face meeting planned.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-biden-white-house-meeting-awkward-obama-6ad7c112e2e1af6ff4fe2ebb4117eef5\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Before he comes back for good on Inauguration Day, Donald Trump will return to the White House briefly at the invitation of Democratic President Joe Biden, who &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=124697\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=124697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124697\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=124697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=124697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=124697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
