First lady Jill Biden said incoming first lady Melania Trump declined her invitation for tea, according to a report in The Washington Post.
Biden reportedly extended the invitation to have tea at the White House, as is customary for incoming and outgoing first ladies during the presidential transition.
But Trump declined, according to the Post, which published a lengthy profile of the outgoing first lady Wednesday.
Biden noted in the interview conducted Jan. 5 that she followed up with Melania Trump in a note, which she passed along to President-elect Trump when they saw each other at the reopening of the Notre Dame in December.
“I congratulated her and I offered help,” Biden said of the note, according to the Post.
Biden did not hear back from her until they spoke briefly at former President Carter’s state funeral last week, when Melania Trump thanked the first lady.
The Hill reached out to the Trump transition team for comment.
The customary White House tea meeting is not the only tradition first ladies are skipping during this transition.
Former first lady Michelle Obama will not be attending the inauguration next week. She also skipped Carter’s state funeral, which would have had her seated next to the incoming president, citing a “scheduling conflict.”

Yes, exactly...you beat me to the post...#43
Jill needs to understand....her panty raid is coming, letter make sure there are no streaks!!!
Melania isn’t a hypocrite. Good for her.
The Bidens are trash, and tried to put her husband in jail. She is perfectly right to tell Jill to pound sand.
Not to mention tried to shoot him in the head on live tv. What was Jill serving? Polonium tea?
It's not about manners...it's about being true to yourself. Melania refuses to be a hypocrite.
You’re right. Sorry. Math and I are always estranged.
Melania has been there. She doesn’t need a tour.
Old Story .
The Leftist Shill recycling tired old Hit Pieces for Evil Pres Fake Dr Jill .
The most vile devious traitorous Slime to ever walk
the WH .
A pathetic openly DNC Front group .
The stated purpose of the tea is to familiarize the incoming first lady with the White House. Seems kinda silly given the circumstances.
Jill would probably make Melania’s tea with Mexican tap water.
Somewhere in Mar A Lago is a sign on the wall that reads, “They aren’t going to have the Trumps to kick around anymore.”
Visiting the Biden would be like visiting the Simpson family.
