WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has left a note for his successor, Joe Biden, in the Oval Office, carrying on at least one tradition of the peaceful transition of power, two Trump administration officials said on Wednesday.
Trump left the White House for the last time as president Wednesday morning to go to Florida and will not attend the inauguration ceremony, breaking with a century of precedent in which presidents have witnessed their successors taking the oath of office on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
Leaving a note for Biden is one Inauguration Day tradition that Trump chose to keep.
