Former US President Joe Biden has revealed the contents of a letter Donald Trump wrote to him after the 2020 presidential election, the website infohub.kz reports.
According to RBK, citing The New York Times, Biden quotes the text of the message in his new book, "Promise Me, America." The letter was dated January 20, 2021 — the day of Biden's inauguration. According to Biden, Trump left the message in the Oval Office in an envelope marked "46." It was written on official White House stationery and signed with a black marker.
The book says Trump called working in the Oval Office "a blessing beyond imagination," noting that history is present in every detail of the White House — from the paintings and statues to the staircases and corridors.
"Now you have the opportunity to choose your place in history, and I know you will stay true to yourself and to the American people. Many presidents have not changed the course of history, but merely followed it. That will not happen with you, because I know how much you love the American people," Biden quotes the letter as saying in his book.
According to Biden, Trump concluded by wishing well-being to him and his wife Jill. "May God bless you and Jill, and may God bless America!" Biden quotes the letter as saying.
Recall that in January 2021, supporters of Donald Trump stormed the Capitol and then the Senate chamber in Washington, where sessions were being held to certify the results of the US presidential election. People were injured in the incident, and one person died.
Shortly before that, Trump promised not to "hand over" the White House to Biden. In July 2026, Donald Trump announced his intention to run "for a fourth term," stressing that he does not recognize his defeat in the 2020 election. In public speeches, he emphasizes that he "won elections three times — in 2016, 2020 and 2024."
