President Barack Obama invited president-elect Donald Trump to meet with him at the White House on Thursday, November 10, after Trump’s stunning Election Night win over Hillary Clinton.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Obama called Trump, 70, from his private residence in the early hours of Wednesday, November 9, to extend his congratulations and invite the Republican candidate to Washington, D.C., according to USA Today. Earnest said the meeting would focus on the presidential transition and “what steps we can take as a country to come together after this hard-fought election season.”
WASHINGTON — President Obama called on Americans to support President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday, saying the Obama White House was "rooting for his success in leading and unifying the country."
"One thing you realize in this job is that the presidency — or the vice presidency — is bigger than all of us," Obama said, standing beside Vice President Joe Biden in his first public remarks since Trump won an astounding victory in one of the most divisive campaigns in memory.
"Everybody is sad when their side loses an election. But we have to remember that we are all on the same team," Obama said. "This is an intramural scrimmage. We're Americans first. We're patriots first."
