This change comes after President Joe Biden, among others, spent months labeling Trump as a "fascist" and an "existential threat." However, the atmosphere seemed cordial when Trump and Biden met after the former's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election.
According to The Post Millennial, when questioned about Biden's sudden change in tone, White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre explained that the administration is now focused on ensuring a peaceful transition of power. She emphasized the need to "respect the will of the American people," suggesting a shift from the previously confrontational stance.

Jean-Pierre further stated, "The President is always going to be honest with the American people. He feels like he is obligated. What he said still stands, but we are now in a different place. The American people spoke. They deserve a peaceful transfer of power. That's what this President wants to do.”

Throughout the campaign, Biden, Harris, and others consistently portrayed Trump as a "threat to democracy" and an "existential threat" to the nation. However, the recent amicable meeting between Biden and Trump starkly contrasts with the earlier rhetoric, leading some to question the sincerity of the White House's previous labels and suggesting they were merely campaign talking points.

The White House secretary further elaborated on Biden's intentions, stating that he "wants to lead by example and talk and show the American people what it looks like to have an efficient, effective, transfer of power."
Speculation is rife that Biden's newfound openness towards Trump may be a result of Harris's replacement on the ballot, which ultimately led to Trump's win. This development was followed by reported infighting between the Harris campaign and Biden’s White House staff, further complicating the post-election landscape. The coming weeks will reveal how these dynamics play out and shape the future of American politics.
