The post praised both men, saying, “I have greatly enjoyed and appreciated working with them in the past. I would like to thank them for their contributions to the United States.”
Haley was Trump’s opponent in this year’s Republican presidential primary.
The new administration has already decided to appoint Susie Wiles, who was one of the key aides to this year’s election campaign, as chief of staff.
In another step toward the transition, Mr. Trump has chosen Steve Witkoff, founder of the Witkoff Group, and former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler to co-direct the inauguration ceremony. Announced by the Trump campaign. Both men are “long-time friends and supporters” of Trump.
On the 7th after Trump’s victory, Biden pledged to work together to ensure a peaceful transfer of power next January and called for bridging the divide in the politically polarized nation.
“Regardless of who you voted for, I hope we can all understand each other as fellow Americans, rather than adversaries, and de-escalate our conflicts. I also hope that we can reduce the heat of conflict by understanding each other as fellow Americans, rather than adversaries. I also hope that we can reduce the heat of conflict by understanding each other as fellow Americans, rather than as adversaries. I hope it can be resolved.The system is honest, fair, and transparent.Whether you win or lose, you can trust it.”
Mr. Trump fought the election results in 2020 for weeks on false claims of voter fraud and did not invite Mr. Biden to the White House as part of the transition. Former President Obama invited Trump to the White House after the 2016 election.
Vice President Harris, who was Trump’s opponent, will oversee the process by which Congress certifies the presidential election results next January. In 2021, after Biden won the election, a mob of Trump supporters stormed and disrupted the U.S. Capitol.
