President-elect Donald Trump made his way back to Washington, D.C., after four years, marking his first visit to the White House since his presidency. Trump met with President Joe Biden for nearly two hours, emphasizing a smooth transition of power despite his previous efforts to impede the process during his own transition four years ago.

Trump's return to Washington began at Joint Base Andrews, where he arrived before proceeding through the city in a motorcade that culminated in a stop at a hotel hosting a GOP leadership conference on Capitol Hill. Addressing lawmakers at the conference, Trump expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, stating, 'It's nice to win,' following a standing ovation.
