In the 2024 US presidential election, Donald Trump was declared the elected president. Several hours before the Associated Press confirmed the victory, the Republican announced his victory, addressing his supporters. However, voters had not yet heard from Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Traditionally, the losing candidate in American elections gives a speech acknowledging defeat. So when will Harris acknowledge defeat in the election?
Find out when Harris is expected to acknowledge defeat in the election below.
According to the Associated Press, Trump won the popular vote. He received 71,260,693 votes (51 percent of voters), while Harris received 66,333,183 (47.5 percent) at the time of publication. Trump was declared the elected president in the early hours of Wednesday, November 6, earning 277 electoral college votes compared to Harris' 224. A candidate needs 270 electoral college votes to be elected.
Harris had not yet acknowledged defeat at the time of publication. Her team remained silent in the early hours of November 6 when additional votes were received for Trump. However, her campaign co-chair, Cedric Richmond, released a statement noting that there are still «votes to be counted».
«We still have states that have not been called», - Richmond said, according to multiple sources. «We will continue to fight to ensure that every vote is counted, that every voice is heard. So you won’t hear from the vice president today, but you will hear from her tomorrow».
It is expected that Harris will give a speech acknowledging defeat today, November 6, according to TODAY.
Shortly after Trump won the 2016 US presidential election against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State called him to concede defeat. The day after the election, she delivered an official speech acknowledging defeat to the public.
«Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country», - Clinton said at the time. «I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or worked so hard for, and I’m sorry that we did not win these elections for the values we share and the vision we have for our country».
Clinton added: «We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. But I still believe in America, and always will. And if you do too, then we must accept this result and look to the future. Donald Trump will be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead».
At the end of her speech, the Democrat delivered a short message to «all the little girls» watching, telling them to «never doubt your worth and strength, deserving every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams»
