The meeting marks Trump’s first official visit to the White House since his 2020 election loss to Biden, a defeat he contested by claiming irregularities in the voting process.
Donald Trump was elected the 47th President of the United States, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a highly contested 2024 election. Trump secured a decisive majority, winning all seven swing states and solidifying his path to the White House.
