While President Trump has yet to concede, here's what customary presidential transitions looked like in the past...

Transcript

00:00As I said last night, my number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate

00:08a transition that ensures our president-elect is successful.

00:12Well, I just had the opportunity to have an excellent conversation with President-elect

00:25Trump.

00:26It was wide-ranging.

00:27We talked about some of the organizational issues in setting up a White House.

00:35We talked about foreign policy.

00:37We talked about domestic policy.

00:43We discussed a lot of different situations, some wonderful and some difficulties.

00:51I very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel.

00:58He's explained some of the difficulties, some of the high-flying assets, and some of the

01:06really great things that have been achieved.

01:09So Mr. President, it was a great honor being with you, and I look forward to being with

01:13you many, many more times in the future.

01:43Our country is now moving forward, and in the final weeks of this administration, we

02:00are committed to maintaining a steady course.

02:04That means providing a smooth transition to the next president, whether it is Vice President

02:08Gore or Governor Bush.

02:09How did the meeting go?

02:10It went very, very well.

02:11I hope they enjoy this home as much as Jill and I have.

02:12But I'm confident on day one, everything will be in good hands, and they'll be able to handle

02:13anything that comes before them.

03:08There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.

03:18All right, we're ready.

03:21The world is watching what's taking place here.

03:22We're going to count all the votes.

03:24When the process is complete, there'll be electors selected.

03:27There's a process.

03:28The Constitution lays it out pretty clearly.
