Outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden will leave a letter for Donald Trump, continuing the 35-year tradition started by Ronald Reagan in 1989. This marks a unique first, as Trump also left a note for Biden in 2020, making them the only duo to exchange letters across nonconsecutive terms. While Trump's 2020 letter to Biden was described as "very generous," Biden's message for his returning successor remains undisclosed. Past presidents, including George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, have followed this tradition, symbolizing goodwill and continuity in governance. Trump will take office Monday as the first nonconsecutive-term president since Grover Cleveland.
