President Biden has a number of options to chose from. The resolute desk has been in constant use since Clinton, but there is a tradition that when a VP becomes President, they bring their VP desk into the oval office. If Biden decides to stick to that tradition, then he'll use the Wilson desk. Another contender is the C&O desk (used by Bush Sr as VP and President), which he might chose due to it's connection to the railways.
 
Well, the swedish office furniture company: AJ Produkter, has send Biden a gift in form of a height adjustable desk (you know one of those were you can alternate between standing and sitting during the day) Maybe he use that one (something tells me he wont, but you never know...)

Good thing we have Biden now to make these serious decisions.

It's a decision every President makes, even you beloved orange buffoon. It's not an important decision, but it might be a change of desk after 30 years of the resolute desk and I found it vaguely interesting.
 
my prediction is the Resolute Desk.
 
and because my predictions are sometimes shit,

To be fair, the last four years were bad for prognosticators everywhere. Some have been worse than others, but nobody was great. I made a bunch of good predictions last year. I also predicted that January 6 would be boring and that Trump would pardon himself, his family and the insurrectionsists. So...yeah.

The one Cowmala Harris has experience in getting under? The one Obama used?

I predicted that the Republican party wouldn't nominate him because they were not suicidal. Wrong. They are win at any cost.

Hey, remember this one? "I hope they nominate him, because then the Republicans will get crushed this November! Ha ha ha!" That was the starkest lesson in why you don't hope that the worst possible person is nominated.

I think I had a moment of, "he's the one candidate in that field who can't win" after they nominated him. Cue sad trumpet.
 
Looks like he's broke with tradition and kept the resolute desk, rather than use his VP desk. I suspect it's going to be a long time before we see a President chose a different one.
