Mr. Trump, who served as the 45th president of the U.S., will become the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms when he also becomes the nation’s 47th president. The other was Grover Cleveland, who was both the 22nd and 24th president. 

Mr. Trump won the presidential election on Tuesday with at least 301 electoral college votes, surpassing the threshold of 270 over Vice President Kamala Harris.

In a speech Thursday, Mr. Biden said he had assured Mr. Trump “that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That’s what the American people deserve.”
