WASHINGTON ― Early Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama called the man who long attempted to delegitimize his presidency to congratulate him for winning the race to serve in the office next.
The White House announced that Obama had called Republican President-elect Donald Trump, who defeated Democratic nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Tuesday’s election.
