Biden in January will join the tiny club of US presidents to return power to their White House predecessor - with the one previous instance coming when president Benjamin Harrison handed back to Grover Cleveland in the 19th century. The 81-year-old president, who dropped out of the White House race in July over concerns about his age, health and mental acuity, called Trump on Wednesday to congratulate him on the election win.Democrats have been pointing fingers over who is to blame for the decisive loss of Vice President Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden at the top of the ticket roughly 100 days before the election.

Robert F Kennedy Jr, a leading figure in the anti-vaccine movement for whom Trump has pledged a"big role" in health care, told NBC News on Wednesday that"I'm not going to take away anybody's vaccines".
