Melania Trump, the soon-to-be First Lady, has reportedly chosen to forgo the traditional meeting with her predecessor, Jill Biden, prior to the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. This decision represents a significant departure from the established custom in which the outgoing First Lady hosts the incoming one for tea at the White House, while the sitting President engages with the President-elect.
Historically, this meeting has symbolized a gesture of goodwill and transition, allowing the outgoing and incoming First Ladies to connect and discuss the intricacies of their roles. However, as reported by DailyMail.com, Melania Trump has decided not to participate in this tradition. In contrast, President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with President Joe Biden on Wednesday, thereby upholding the customary practice between outgoing and incoming presidents.
The First Lady’s choice has ignited discussions across the political spectrum, with some attributing her decision to the prevailing political climate, while others interpret it as a personal preference. Despite this break from tradition, the emphasis remains on facilitating a seamless transition of presidential power. It remains to be seen whether this decision will influence the actions of future First Ladies.
