Harris Called Trump & Conceded Election

Nov 7 2024

Kamala Harris addressed supporters at Howard University after losing the 2024 U.S. presidential election to Donald Trump.

In her concession speech, Harris expressed disappointment but reaffirmed her commitment to ongoing causes, stating that the fight for America’s values would continue. She acknowledged the emotional impact of the loss, encouraging young supporters to stay hopeful despite setbacks.

She also congratulated Trump, emphasising the importance of a peaceful transition of power—a pointed contrast to Trump’s own refusal to concede in 2020.

Harris’s campaign faced formidable challenges. Though she championed women’s reproductive rights and promised a positive future, many voters were more focused on economic concerns like high inflation and immigration, which ultimately swung key battleground states toward Trump.

Harris’s historic candidacy as the first Black and South Asian woman to seek the presidency inspired her base, but it wasn’t enough to overcome widespread voter dissatisfaction.

As vice president, Harris will oversee the certification of Trump’s victory in Congress, ensuring a smooth transition.

President Biden has also pledged to attend Trump’s inauguration, signalling a commitment to democratic norms after a divisive election season. Harris closed by thanking her husband and supporters, remaining hopeful about America’s future.
