President Biden hosted former President Bill Clinton for lunch at the White House on Monday, the White House confirmed.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday said Biden and Clinton were set to have “a wide-ranging discussion.”
“He spoke with him a couple of weeks ago,” Psaki said, adding that Biden has had “a number of conversations” with Clinton “over the course of time since his time in office.”
“They talked about having lunch just a few weeks ago, so this is an opportunity to do exactly that,” Psaki said, adding that she is “sure they will have a broad conversation.”
