The Trump campaign confirmed that President Joe Biden spoke with Donald Trump in a phone call Wednesday evening, and the president-elect accepted an invitation to visit the White House. “President Joe Biden called President Donald J. Trump to congratulate him on his victory and extended an invitation to the White House to ensure a smooth transition between the current Administration and the incoming Administration,” Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement sent to the Daily Beast. “President Trump looks forward to the meeting, which will take place shortly, and very much appreciated the call.” In their own statement, the White House said that Biden “expressed his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of working to bring the country together,” Reuters reported. In her concession speech on Wednesday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris also urged her supporters to accept the peaceful transition of power. “I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now,” Harris said. “I get it. But we must accept the results of this election.”
