This is a traditional courtesy that was not extended to Biden by Trump in 2020, as he refused to concede defeat in the election.
Earlier on Wednesday morning, House Speaker Mike Johnson told gathered Republicans to say they owed Trump their gratitude, calling him a “comeback king” as he steers them toward a majority as the final races are being called; the GOP is projected to win a narrow majority. Trump endorsed Johnson’s return as speaker in front of Congressional Republicans, many of whom seemed starstruck, shooting cell phone footage of the incoming president.
At the early meeting, Trump hinted at possibly altering the Constitution to carry on his leadership after his second four-year term; U.S. presidents are allowed two terms, according to constitutional limits. “I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you say: He’s good, we got to figure something else,” Trump said to laughter from the lawmakers.Danielle Directo-Meston
