Trump makes a victor's return to Washington to meet with Biden and GOP lawmakers

President-elect Donald Trump is making a victor’s return to Washington on Wednesday. President Joe Biden will welcome him to the White House for a visit that is a traditional part of the peaceful handoff of power. It's also a ritual that Trump himself declined to participate in four years ago. Trump also plans to meet with Republicans near the Capitol as they focus on his Day 1 priorities and prepare for a potentially unified government with a GOP sweep of power in Washington. Trump met with President Barack Obama in the days after his 2016 election win and called it “a great honor.” Four years later, Trump disputed his 2020 election loss to Biden, didn’t invite him to the White House and left Washington without attending Biden’s inauguration.
