Elizabeth Warren offers to put aside differences with President-Elect Donald Trump

“It is no secret that the president-elect and I have some pretty significant differences”, Obama said, adding later, that “we all want what’s best for this country”.

“Ensuring a smooth transition of power is one of the top priorities the President identified at the beginning of the year and a meeting with the President-elect is the next step”, the White House said. We go at it.

The youngest of Trump’s five children stood next to his father during his victory speech in NY early Wednesday. Has any other campaign had a one-word slogan? I voted for Hillary. Instead, Hillary Clinton looked out to a group of grief-stricken aides and tearful supporters, as she acknowledged her stunning loss of the presidency to Donald Trump. “The meeting lasted for nearly an hour and a half”.

“If you talk to his advisers, as I’ve been doing over the last few months, what they’ll tell you is that it’s a mistake to assume that he’s doing this for political theater”, Osnos says.

The former secretary of state expressed “pride and gratitude” for those who supported her campaign, and said she was proud to be a champion for young women across the country.

The new president must appoint more than 4,100 senior level positions across the government.

Obama was harshly critical of Trump throughout the campaign, blasting him as unfit to serve as a commander in chief.

“Just had a very open and successful presidential election”, Trump wrote at the time.

Speaking in the Rose Garden alongside Vice-President Joe Biden, Mr Obama said it was no secret that he disagreed with Mr Trump on a number of issues. Really good meeting, great chemistry.

A wealthy real estate developer and former reality TV host, Trump rode a wave of anger toward Washington insiders to win Tuesday’s election against Clinton, whose gold-plated establishment resume included stints as a first lady, USA senator and secretary of state. We’re not Republicans first.

In his victory speech early on Wednesday, he also promised to embark on a project to rebuild American infrastructure and to double U.S. economic growth.

He had also warned supporters in apocalyptic terms that “the fate of the republic” rested on Clinton defeating Trump on Election Day. The whole time Obama was in office, Trump questioned his birth place.

Many Republicans in Congress only backed Mr Trump after he became the candidate.

Trump is also scheduled to meet with House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell while in town.
