The Associated Press:
President Joe Biden has called President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his election victory and to invite him to the White House to discuss the transition.
The White House said staff would coordinate a date “in the near future.”
Biden plans to address the nation on the election results, which will have sharp implications for his legacy, on Thursday. Biden also spoke with Vice President Harris to congratulate her on her campaign.
Biden’s call came shortly after Kamala Harris called Trump to concede the election.
Harris discussed the importance of a peaceful transition in her call with Trump.
In recent months, Republicans and Democrats have speculated that Biden has not been fond of being replaced with Harris.
The speculation began after Biden wore a Trump hat during a 9/11 memorial event.

More rumors swirled about Biden potentially sabotaging Harris’s campaign after he scheduled several primetime interviews during Kamala Harris’ rallies.
CNN says they were just about to go live to Kamala’s speech in Detroit when Biden appeared at the press briefing — “clearly overshadowing her.”
“Is the left hand not talking to the right hand?”
