Dems' belief about nonwhite voters collapses

And Jack Smith plans to step down as special counsel before Trump takes office

VIEW IN BROWSER MSNBC DAILY Understand today's news Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024 THE LATEST Biden and Trump's Oval Office meeting may be performative, but it matters By Susan Del Percio President Joe Biden will meet with President-elect Donald Trump at 11 a.m. ET Wednesday in the Oval Office. It will be just the second time the two men have met since Biden was elected in 2020. The first was the debate held back in June, which led to Biden's giving up his run for re-election. Expect this one to go a bit better for the president.   While this meeting will likely be brief and visibly strained, look to Biden to be the patriot he has proven to be many times over. For the sake of the country, he will be gracious, congratulate Trump on winning a fair election and, most of all, emphasize the importance of a peaceful transfer of power.   Biden has often been called the consoler-in-chief for his ability to relate to people who suffered great loss, after he experienced great loss himself. He surely sees parts of the nation experiencing grief after the election and will seek to reassure them.   This is a preview of Susan Del Percio's latest article.
