(WASHINGTON) — <\/span>President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are meeting in the Oval Office, resuming a tradition that Trump himself flouted in 2020.<\/p>\n

Biden spoke first, calling for a smooth transition and telling Trump he will do “everything we can to make sure you’re accommodated.”<\/p>\n

Trump followed by thanking Biden.<\/p>\n

“Politics is tough, and it’s, in many cases, not a very nice world but it is a nice world today,” Trump said. “And I appreciate it very much. A transition that\u2019s so smooth, it’ll be as smooth as it can get.”<\/p>\n

They did not answer questions.<\/p>\n

After losing the 2020 election, Trump broke with two traditions that demonstrate American democracy’s peaceful transfer of power.<\/p>\n

First, he declined to invite then-President-elect Joe Biden to the White House in the weeks after the race while contending he hadn’t lost. Later, he skipped Biden’s inauguration, instead\u00a0leaving Washington<\/a>\u00a0mere hours before the ceremony began.<\/p>\n

But those customs returned as Trump arrived Wednesday at the White House.<\/p>\n

It marks Trump’s first time back in the White House since ending his presidency under a cloud of election denialism four years ago. A week before his departure, he was impeached by the House for a second time as lawmakers charged him with “incitement of insurrection” after his supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.<\/p>\n

Trump vowed to return and his comeback was\u00a0made complete<\/a>\u00a0last week. He swept all seven swing states, clinching 312 electoral votes to Vice President Kamala Harris’ 226 votes, and is on track to win the popular vote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Biden spoke with Trump on Nov. 6 to congratulate him and to extend a political olive branch with an invitation to the White House.<\/p>\n

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday that Biden did so because “he believes in the norms.”<\/p>\n

“It is important not just because it’s important to him, but it’s important to the American people,” Jean-Pierre said. “The American people deserve this. They deserve a peaceful transfer of power. They deserve a smooth transition. And that’s what you’re going to see.”<\/p>\n

Last month, before\u00a0Election<\/a>\u00a0Day, the White House said Biden would attend the inauguration no matter who won.<\/p>\n

Biden made preserving democracy a key message of his 2020 campaign and his 2024 reelection effort before dropping out, repeatedly blasting Trump as a threat to the institution over Jan. 6.<\/p>\n

“He wants to show the American people that the system works,” Jean-Pierre said.<\/p>\n

Asked by ABC News White House Correspondent Karen Travers what was on the agenda for their meeting, Jean-Pierre said the conversation would be private but that reporters will be allowed in the room to capture the start of their sit-down.<\/p>\n

National security adviser Jake Sullivan said this past weekend, though, that Biden and Trump would go through both domestic and foreign policy issues.<\/p>\n

Vice President Harris will not attend the meeting, Jean-Pierre said.<\/p>\n

Melania Trump will also not be in attendance, her office confirmed on Wednesday. First lady Jill Biden’s office confirmed that a joint invitation was extended to the Trumps to meet at the White House.<\/p>\n

“Her husband’s return to the Oval Office to commence the transition process is encouraging, and she wishes him great success,” Melania Trump’s office said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Michelle Obama hosted Melania Trump at the White House when then-President Barack Obama invited Trump just days after the election. The two men met for 90 minutes, and Obama called the conversation “excellent.”<\/p>\n

While in Washington, Trump will also make a stop near the Capitol to meet with House Republicans.<\/p>\n

House Republican leaders\u00a0took an early victory lap on Tuesday<\/a>\u00a0as the party inches closer to a “trifecta” — or control of the White House, the Senate and the House. ABC News has not yet projected the balance of power in the House, though Republicans are three seats away from a majority.<\/p>\n

“It is a new day in America,” Speaker Mike Johnson proclaimed. He said Republicans were ready to begin delivering on Trump’s agenda on Day 1 of his administration.<\/p>\n
