Biden's White House invitation to Trump continues a tradition Trump

shunned in 2020

WASHINGTON (AP) — Be-
fore he comes back for
good on Inauguration Day,
Donald Trump will return to
the White House briefly at
the invitation of Democrat-
ic President Joe Biden, who
had hoped to defeat his
Republican predecessor
a second time and reside
there for four more years.
That may make for an awk-
ward encounter, especially
given that, after Biden oust-
ed Trump in 2020, Trump of-
fered no such White House
invitation to Biden. Trump
even left Washington be-
fore the Jan. 20, 2021, in-
auguration, becoming the
first president to do so since
Andrew Johnson skipped
the 1869 swearing-in of Ul-
ysses S. Grant.
Biden also has the unusual
distinction of having beat-
en Trump in one cycle and
run against him for about
15 months during this year's
campaign.
