Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 presidential election to Republican candidate Donald Trump. The latter won both the popular vote and the electoral college, despite previous polls predicting a narrow lead. After more votes were counted in favor of Trump, the Harris campaign fell silent. It is expected that she will make a gracious concession speech at some point, in accordance with tradition for U.S. elections. When will she admit defeat?
Harris ran a brief but intense campaign. After President Joe Biden dropped out of the race to support her, the former prosecutor visited several states, including swing states, to motivate voters. She even received support from several Republicans, including Liz Cheney. Among the most famous slogans of her campaign were «When we fight, we win» and «We will not go back», - referring to some of Trump’s policies and Project 2025.
According to today’s news, Harris will concede defeat on Wednesday, November 6, at Howard University. Shortly before Trump was declared the winner, Harris’s campaign co-chair, Cedric Richmond, reportedly stated that the vice president would address the public the next day.
«We still have states that have not been called», - Richmond noted, according to multiple sources. «We will continue to fight to ensure that every vote is counted, that every voice is heard. So today you will not hear from the vice president, but you will hear from her tomorrow».
Hours after Trump’s victory in the 2016 election was confirmed, then-Democratic candidate and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called him to concede defeat. The next day, she made a public statement. She thanked her supporters and called on all Americans to «accept» the election results.
«We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. But I still believe in America, and always will», - Clinton said at the time. «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»
