REUTERSRepublican presidential nominee and former US President Donald Trump takes the stage following early results from the 2024 US presidential election in Palm Beach County Convention Center, in West Palm Beach, Florida, US, Nov 6, 2024. Biden, 81, has portrayed Trump as a threat to democracy, while Trump, 78, has portrayed Biden as incompetent. Although Biden intends to use the meeting to show continuity, the transition itself is partially stalled. “The Trump-Vance transition lawyers continue to constructively engage with the Biden-Harris Administration lawyers regarding all agreements contemplated by the Presidential Transition Act," said Brian Vance, a spokesperson for the Trump transition, referring to the law that governs the transfer of power. “Everything is hinging on that.”Meetings with federal agencies aside, Biden and Trump will likely discuss a myriad of topics, including foreign policy.
