Trump receives congratulatory calls and White House invitation after election victory
Donald Trump, now president-elect, received congratulatory calls from defeated opponent Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, and several world leaders. Biden invited Trump to the White House to discuss the transition process, which has not yet begun in earnest.
Transition discussions are expected to increase later this week, focusing on forming an inaugural committee and a formal transition team. However, delays in signing federal agreements are hindering the Trump team's access to necessary resources for a smooth transition.
U.S. markets reacted positively to Trump's election, with significant gains noted. Additionally, the Justice Department is reportedly considering winding down federal cases against Trump, as sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted.
