"PLOT TWIST: They're actually besties behind the scenes" — Internet reacts to report of Trump planning to have lunch with Biden
After Donald Trump's Presidential win in the 2024 elections, both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris promised a peaceful transfer of power to the new administration. As per Sky News Australia, the Republican stated that he would be having lunch with President Joe Biden soon.
The news, which is yet to be confirmed, soon went viral on social media platforms. Several netizens took to X to express their reactions to the news about the alleged information.
One user remarked that the duo were actually besties behind all the political drama.
"PLOT TWIST: They're actually besties behind the scenes."
Online commenters humorously speculated about Biden’s vote, Obama joining a Minecraft game, and an "unforgettable luncheon."
A user further wrote on X:
"Hopefully they'll invite Obama too and play Minecraft together," a user remarked.
"We ALL know who Biden voted for," joked a netizen.
"I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon!" added a tweet.
A number of other users took to X, and gave reactions upon Trump apparently accepting Joe Biden's alleged invitation, post the Presidential win of the Republican candidate. For the unversed, he won after winning more than 270 electoral votes, which was the required margin, unlike Kamala Harris who secured a little over 220. A user tweeted:
"They still love each other."
"Wonder what this conversation would be like 🤔🧐," questioned another netizen.
"Reports say they are meeting at the DC McDonald's," commented a user on social media platform.
Kamala Harris conceded the election to Trump during a speech in Washington D.C.
The Daily Mail confirmed that after President Joe Biden congratulated Republican candidate Donald Trump for the win in the elections, Harris too conceded to him, during a speech on November 6, 2024. She then added:
"The outcome of this election is not want we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for... While I concede the election, I do not concede the fight that fuelled this campaign. Fight for freedom, opportunity, dignity for all people."
While Harris lost the elections, her supporters appeared to still be supportive of the Vice President.
NDTV World reported that Trump would be the oldest individual to become a US President after his inauguration which is set to take place in January 2025. As per reports by NBC News, the former President would first focus on the issues in the border and migration when he starts his tenure as the 47th President of the United States.
Trump explained how he would work on making border areas more powerful and secured. The Republican candidate revealed that while he isn't against migrants, their residence in the US, should be completely legal in nature.
The win of the Republican candidate has sparked varied range of reactions from people belonging to different sectors of the society. While many celebrated the win, others expressed their frustration on social media.
As for Biden and Harris' reactions, according to Donald Trump, he had spoken to both of them on calls, after the results were out. According to the former President, it was "very nice" and "very respectful both ways."
No further update about the alleged upcoming lunch is available as of now.
