Watch live: White House holds press briefing after Biden, Trump meeting
Please note: The briefing has been delayed, and is now expected to begin at 1:30 p.m. EST.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is set to brief reporters on Wednesday following the meeting between President Biden and President-elect Trump.
During the visit, Biden congratulated Trump for his victory. The president was once Trump's chief political opponent before Biden dropped out of the 2024 race in July.
The meeting was meant to underscore the peaceful transition of power in America four years after Trump contested the results of the 2020 election and broke tradition by not inviting Biden to the White House.
Trump rolled to a decisive victory over Vice President Harris last week — while the House retained its GOP majority and Republicans flipped the Senate.
