Ronald Reagan scribbled a note in 1989 to his successor above an elephant cartoon. The tradition, started perhaps inadvertently, was continued by Joe Biden.

Every president since Ronald Reagan has left a note for his successor, and President Joe Biden could be the first to write a letter to someone who is both his successor and the predecessor who left a note for him.

What is clear is that after four contentious years, Biden leaves Washington as a remarkably consequential one-term president.

Ronald Reagan started a tradition as he prepared to leave office after two terms as president: Write a note congratulating your successor and leave it in the Oval Office desk drawer.

Eerie similarities between Joe Biden's hostage release deal and the deal made with Iran by former President Jimmy Carter do not go unnoticed.

Donald Trump shared details about a 'nice' and inspirational letter former President Joe Biden left for him at the White House Resolute Desk. The letter continues an inauguration tradition initiated by Ronald Reagan.

The rug, which was in place during Ronald Reagan’s administration and during Trump’s first term, was reinstalled during Trump’s inauguration ceremony, according to CBS News. The Resolute Desk had to be partially disassembled in order to facilitate its return.

The new president found the handwritten letter in the drawer of the Oval Office desk on Monday (Jan 20) while he was signing his first executive orders after the inauguration the same day.

Donald Trump has revealed what Joe Biden wrote to him in his "inspirational" farewell letter. Trump found the letter in his desk on Monday, as he signed executive orders in the Oval Office. It is part of a tradition, started by President Ronald Reagan, which sees one president leave a welcome note to his successor.

Democrats don't have a transformational leader to vanquish MAGA and risk being befuddled by President Trump's shock-and-awe campaign.

After four years of a subdued term under President Joe Biden, 82, Trump has brought energy and unpredictability back to the Oval Office. The former reality TV star and businessman known for his branding, Trump, 78, jump-started his agenda with an eye for dramatics.
