This meeting is considered part of the long tradition of inauguration day.
In the official schedule, this meeting is marked as a “tea party”. Current US Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Douglas Emhoff, as well as Vice President-elect JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance, are present.
The so-called “tea party” of presidents is a long-standing tradition in the USA, which symbolizes a peaceful and democratic process of transfer of power. After the event, Joe Biden and Donald Trump will travel in the same limousine to the Capitol, where the new president will take the oath of office and assume official powers around noon.
Such a ceremony was not held four years ago, when the 45th President Donald Trump did not recognize his defeat in the election and refused to participate in the inauguration events of the 46th President Joe Biden.
Today, January 20, is the inauguration of Donald Trump.
