Biden meets with Pence for 'smooth transition of power'

Joe Biden met with the man who will be replacing him as vice president in the White House Thursday, as part of the Obama administration's efforts to "ensure a smooth and seamless transition of power."

Biden met with Vice President-elect Mike Pence in his West Wing Office where the two men "spoke about their time working together in Congress and their friendship dating back many years," according to a statement from the White House. They also discussed the duties of the office and some of Biden's policy interests, such as NATO, Eastern Europe and the middle class.
