President Joe Biden shaking hands with Donald Trump in front of a White House fireplace resumed a tradition that the president-elect broke four years ago as he was heading out of the White House door.
Biden — smiling next to a man he was running against for his re-election campaign until July of this year, and who he has spent years warning of his singular threat to American democracy and the rule of law — told Trump “welcome back” and promised to make sure he is “accommodated” as he prepares to return to the White House for another four years starting January 20.
