Biden greets Trump at White House with two-word message

Trump walked up the steps and greeted Biden and first lady Jill Biden. The couples posed for photos, but did not answer questions shouted by the press. The Bidens and the Trumps turned around and entered the White House together to have tea. 

The welcoming tone is a stark contrast to the combative nature of the June debate between Biden and Trump, as the Democratic president's rocky performance ultimately led to him suspending his re-election campaign and Harris topping the ticket.

Over concern about Biden's age and mental fitness, Democratic donors and insiders pushed for his ouster from the race, and Harris became the nominee without any primary. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was her vice presidential running mate.
