CNN projected earlier this week that Trump would win a second term after reaching the 270 electoral votes needed to win the election.
The other six battleground states – Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada – were all previously slated for Trump.
The president-elect will meet with President Joe Biden in the Oval Office on Wednesday, the White House announced Saturday.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement that the two will meet at 11 a.m. at Biden’s invitation, adding that additional details about the meeting will be released.
New first lady Melania Trump has also been invited to the White House for a meeting with first lady Jill Biden, an East Wing official told CNN, though it was unclear when that might happen.
Biden spoke with Trump on Wednesday, the day after the election, to congratulate him on his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris and invite him to the White House, an administration official said.
“President Biden expressed his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of working to bring the country together,” the official said Wednesday.
As president, Trump has repeatedly come under fire from ethics groups for potential conflicts of interest related to his businesses and brands.
Both Trump and his family’s foreign business ties have also come under intense scrutiny during his tenure and during the campaign.
