It must have been as surreal an experience for Biden, the 81-year-old president, who beat Trump for the presidency in 2020 and had mounted a second campaign that ended short.
: Four years after he walked out of the White House following the violent insurrection he helped incite, Donald Trump has returned to Washington to begin the orderly transition of power.
Trump thanked Biden, telling his predecessor:“Politics is tough, and it’s, in many cases, not a nice world.”“But it is a nice world today and I appreciate very much a transition that’s so smooth, it’ll be as smooth as you can get,” he added.It must have been as surreal experience for Biden, the 81-year-old president who genuinely believed he was the only Democrat who could beat Trump, and who now holds the dubious honour of being the only one who has.
Indeed, last week’s victory was so resounding that Trump not only picked up all seven battleground states, he also won the popular vote and assisted Republicans in taking control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
