Kamala Harris Delivers Concession Speech at Howard University

1 Mins read

Kamala Harris is waving the white flag on her election chances, but she’s not giving up hope for a brighter tomorrow … at least that’s what she told her supporters after she came up just short in her bid for the White House.

The Vice President addressed the nation Wednesday afternoon for the first time since Donald Trump clinched victory as the 47th President of the United States … and she tried to put a positive spin on things.

Harris spoke at Howard University, her alma mater, in Washington, D.C. after skipping an election night speech she’d initially hoped would celebrate her win … or at least urge patience as votes continued to be counted. As we know, Trump secured the win overnight.

She told the people who voted for her they must accept the election results … because Americans owe their loyalty to the Constitution, and not to any president. She promised to work with Trump on a peaceful transition of power and said this election shouldn’t end the fight for a better future for all Americans.

Harris called Trump earlier today to congratulate him on his historic win. President Joe Biden also called President-elect Trump Wednesday to offer his congratulations, and reportedly invited Trump to visit the White House. Thursday, Biden is set to deliver a national address himself.

Harris’ Democratic campaign was a rollercoaster, kicking off in August after Biden stepped aside, ending his quest for a second term.

Harris quickly rode a wave of high-profile celeb endorsements, with stars like Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Ariana Grande, and more backing her.

Kamala’s been shattering barriers for years, and her win would’ve made history as the first woman, Black woman, and person of South Asian descent to become President. Trump makes history as only the second president elected to non-consecutive terms — and as the first convicted felon elected to office.
