חזרתו של טראמפ לבית הלבן לפגישת המעבר המסורתית עם ביידן סימנה שינוי משמעותי מהעברת השלטון הסוערת ב-2020. הבוקר החל במינויי קבינט: פיט הגסת' לשר ההגנה וג'ון רטקליף לראשות ה-CIA, ובהמשך הוקמה מחלקת יעילות ממשלתית בראשות אילון מאסק וויוק רמסוואמי. אחר הצהריים, הרפובליקנים הבטיחו את שליטתם בשני בתי הקונגרס, כשג'ון ת'ון נבחר למנהיג הרוב בסנאט על פני מועמדים המקורבים לטראמפ. הערב הביא מינויים שנויים במחלוקת: מרקו רוביו למזכיר המדינה, טולסי גבארד למנהלת המודיעין הלאומי, ומאט גייץ לתפקיד התובע הכללי - האחרון עורר התנגדות מיידית מסנאטורים רפובליקנים. התפתחויות בינלאומיות כללו שקילת משא ומתן על שטחים תמורת שלום באוקראינה והכנת תכנית הפסקת אש בלבנון כ"מתנה" לטראמפ. מעצר איש CIA בגין הדלפת מידע מסווג על תכניות תקיפה ישראליות באיראן הוסיף מורכבות להשלכות מדיניות החוץ של המעבר.
