US President Joe Biden has called President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his election victory and to invite him to the White House to discuss the transition.

The White House says staff would coordinate a date “in the near future.” Biden plans to address the nation tomorrow on the election results, which will have sharp implications for his legacy.

Biden also spoke with Vice President Harris to congratulate her on her campaign.
