President Biden To Host Predecessor Trump At White House

Final 2020 U.S. presidential campaign debate in Nashville

President Joe Biden is set to host his predecessor, Donald Trump, at the White House, in what is expected to be a significant meeting between the two leaders. Despite recent reports suggesting Biden believed he could have defeated Trump in the last election, the president is said to be putting aside any hard feelings for the meeting.

Following the election, there has been speculation about Biden's state of mind, with some Democrats blaming him for Trump's impending return to the White House. However, a senior administration official described Biden as focused and unchanged since Election Day, indicating that he remains committed to his duties.

Reports prior to the election indicated Biden's confidence in his ability to defeat Trump if he had been the Democratic nominee. Despite the outcome, some advisers close to Biden continue to support this belief, suggesting that he could have emerged victorious.

Biden is reportedly aware of the criticism directed towards him following Vice President Kamala Harris' defeat. Sources close to the White House suggest that Biden views the backlash as unfair and is displeased with the blame being placed on him.

It remains unclear how much Biden shared in Harris' campaign optimism towards the end of the election, as she believed she had a good chance of defeating Trump. Despite differing opinions within his circle, Biden's focus appears to be on moving forward and fulfilling his presidential responsibilities.
