Trump to visit Biden at White House as new presidential transition team takes shape: Live updates
President-elect Donald Trump has so far avoided public appearances for the last week after his election victory as he begins to staff his administration from his base at Mar-a-Lago, his private Florida club.
Trump has held no press conferences and given no speeches after the election as he’s surrounded by advisers, aides, friends, and club members guiding him on his next moves.
This comes as Judge Juan Merchan is postponing a decision on whether to undo Trump’s criminal conviction in the hush money case against him because of April’s Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
The judge had been set to rule on Tuesday but instead told Trump’s lawyers that he would delay until November 19.
The Republican has meanwhile chosen Florida Senator Marco Rubio to be his secretary of state and Florida congressman Mike Waltz to be his national security adviser as his White House team continues to take shape.
The president-elect is also reportedly preparing to appoint South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Trump will meet with Joe Biden at the White House on Wednesday to discuss a transition schedule as the Senate elects a new majority leader.
