The Post’s Politics team has the latest news and analysis as President-elect Donald Trump is quickly filling his Cabinet just one week after his historic re-election.

On Wednesday, Trump met with former foe President Biden in the Oval Office where they appeared more like friends than enemies while discussing plans for a peaceful transition of power.

Meanwhile, Senate Republicans elected John Thune of South Dakota as their majority leader, succeeding a retiring Mitch McConnell. Thune, the Republican whip since 2019, edged out John Cornyn of Texas after Florida’s Rick Scott of Florida — a late favorite of hard-right members — was eliminated on the first ballot.
