CNN: Biden Invites Trump to White House, Will Address the Nation Tomorrow

‘President Biden and President-Elect Trump also spoke today’

EXCERPT:

TAUSCHE: “Well, the conversations were very brief. They were very high-level. A White House official said that President Biden congratulated the vice president on what he described as a historic campaign. And as for the conversation with now President-Elect Donald Trump, President Biden talked about being a president for all people and ushering in a peaceful transition of power. And those are some of the things that we’re expecting President Biden to touch on tomorrow when he delivers this address. Despite some of the more piercing rhetoric from the campaign trail in recent weeks, we expect the president to talk about how he was a president for all people. And he expects Donald Trump to be the same, how he will uphold democracy, which is of course one of the core pillars of what he ran on protecting back in 2020, and frequently revisited throughout the course of the last four years. Now, clearly, it is not a bittersweet moment for President Biden. It is expected to be quite bitter as he delivers this address in a race he believed that he could have won. Whether that — there’s any tinge of that in his remarks, we don’t expect there to be. We expect him to be on script and speaking at a high level. But of course, we’ll see when he actually delivers them, Dana.”
