When Trump exited his limousine on Monday morning, a smiling Biden greeted Trump by saying, “welcome home.”
This is Trump’s second time back at the White House since he left in 2021. He first returned to the presidential residence when Biden invited him for an Oval Office meeting days after he won re-election back in November.
The tradition of pre-inauguration tea was first started in 1837 with President Martin Van Buren and President Andrew Jackson.
When the meeting concludes, Biden and Trump will ride together to the U.S. Capitol for the swearing-in ceremony.
