White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated on Thursday that President Biden continues to view former President Trump as an 'existential threat' to democracy. However, Jean-Pierre emphasized that the current situation has evolved since the election, with Biden acknowledging the will of the American people as expressed through the electoral process.
Following a cordial meeting between Biden and Trump at the White House, where they discussed a smooth transition of power, Jean-Pierre highlighted Biden's commitment to setting an example for a peaceful transfer of power. This shift in tone reflects Biden's belief in upholding democratic principles and ensuring a smooth transition for the benefit of the American people.
