The statement said little about the subject of the meetings but said Rahm Emanuel would "discuss how to best work together and ensure they know that the White House will be open at all times for them."
Emanuel, an Illinois congressman whose appointment as chief of staff was announced shortly after the November 4 election, is a member of the Democratic leadership.
Emanuel's meeting comes as the Democratic-led Congress was running into difficulty in its push to pass a bailout for the distressed U.S. auto industry. Obama has said he believes the struggling industry needs a cash infusion.
The last ditch effort to extend $25 billion (16 billion pound) in aid to General Motors, Ford and Chrysler hinged on negotiations that are supported by Republicans and the "lame-duck" White House.
Congress has at most two days remaining in its post-election session. Without a deal in that time, automakers will likely have to wait until the new Congress and the Obama administration are in place in January.
The list of priorities on Obama's domestic agenda for next year is long. Despite the Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress, Obama will need cooperation from some Republicans to accomplish his goals.
One of his biggest short-term aims is to push through an economic stimulus bill. He will also seek an overhaul of Wall Street regulations and a revamping of the healthcare system.
