Harris Delivers Concession Speech at Howard University

Last night, as the dust began to settle, Vice President Kamala Harris (D) announced that she would not address supporters. Instead, they were asked to go home for the evening. In the end, President Donald Trump (R) was elected the 47th President of the United States. This afternoon, Vice President Harris addressed supporters, delivering a concession speech and urging her supporters to remain politically involved.

Earlier today, it's reported that both President Joe Biden (D) and Vice President Harris spoke to President Trump, congratulating him for his victory and assuring that they will help with a peaceful transition of power.

Addressing supporters at Howard University, Vice President Harris admitted that "folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotion." However, "the light of America's promise will always burn bright."

Despite the Harris-Walz ticket's defeat in the electorate, Vice President Harris shared that she has no regrets regarding the race the ticket ran, noting that they "have been intentional about building community and building coalition." This will likely attract some criticism as Republicans gained significant support in the election, showing improvements in blue states and beyond.

The vice president admitted that she accepted the results, saying that anyone who seeks public office must honor this, but accepting the results of the election does not mean that she will not be part of the "fight."

“We owe loyalty not to a president or to a party, but to the constitution of the United States and loyalty to our conscience and to our God," she expressed. "I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign. The fight for freedom for opportunity, for fairness, and the dignity for all people. A fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation, the ideals that reflect America at our best. That is a fight I will never give up."

Calling on her supporters to remain involved in the political process, she noted that they may have won the election, but the work continues.

“Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn’t mean we won’t win,” she admitted.

“This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves.”
