Trump arrived at Joint Base Andrews, where Air Force One takes off and lands, and his motorcade weaved through Washington before stopping at a hotel for a GOP leadership conference on Capitol Hill.
“It's nice to win,” Trump told lawmakers there after a standing ovation.
Trump then headed to White House. Sitting in front of a crackling fire in the Oval Office, the former rivals shook hands.
“Congratulations,” Biden, a Democrat, told the Republican. “I look forward to having, like they said, a smooth transition,” Biden said. “Welcome. Welcome back.”
Trump replied, “Thank you very much,” saying that “politics is tough. And it’s, in many cases, not a very nice world. But it is a nice world today, and I appreciate it very much.”
After their meeting, Trump left town again. Here's a look at the day through the lens of AP photographers.
