In a turn of events that has conservative hearts doing cartwheels, President Joe Biden is scheduled to address the nation in the aftermath of President-elect Donald Trump’s impressive victory that will see him return to the White House for a second term. The octogenarian president will be located in the Rose Garden, that iconic piece of real estate where so many important announcements have been made—and maybe a few questionable decisions too. Rumor has it Biden plans to chat about the election results and transition plans at the bright and cheery hour of 11:00 am.
Biden, at the ripe age of 81, found himself ousted from the race earlier this year, thanks to his own party who decided it was time to hitch their wagon to Vice President Kamala Harris. With political maneuvering akin to a high-school drama club, Biden is now preparing to watch what’s left of his legacy—whatever that may be—go up in smoke as Trump mounts a brilliant comeback that was, quite frankly, nothing short of spectacular.

Reports indicate Biden and Trump had a chat over the phone, and while Biden may have expressed a vague commitment to a smooth transition, one can’t help but wonder how genuine those words really are. After all, nothing screams unity like Biden reluctantly agreeing to play nice with the man who sent him packing from the campaign trail. The way their relationship has operated, one could sketch a sitcom out of the constant back-and-forth.
Let’s not forget the behind-the-scenes hilarity—Biden was last seen at the disastrous debate against Trump in June, the one that apparently turned him from candidate to a mere bystander in his own party’s drama. Following that performance, Harris’s team may as well have issued a “Help Wanted” sign, ushering Biden to the sidelines while they took the reins. His conspicuous absence from Election Night celebrations was likely more than just a scheduling conflict—more like a teenage breakup played out in front of cameras.
As the country witnesses what can only be described as a glorious unfolding of events, it’s essential to remember that there are rules at play during this transition. The Constitution dictates that Trump will be officially sworn in on January 20, which means he’ll be back in the Oval Office shortly after. Once that grand ceremony takes place, Trump will move into the White House, probably ready to reorganize the entire place—starting with taking down all that ‘decor’ that Biden’s team plastered everywhere.
In the coming days, expect to see an unfolding narrative of “who’s who” in the transition saga—a task that will undoubtedly provide ample fodder for political water coolers around the nation. Meanwhile, the Republican base is likely to sit back and enjoy the show, popcorn in hand, as they witness just how messy it can get when a president whose tenure hit more dips than rises is forced to relinquish his crown.
