Kamala Harris concedes the presidential election to Donald Trump
(ABC NEWS) — Vice President Kamala Harris’ motorcade arrived at Howard University, where she delivered her concession speech, according to ABC NEWS.
Vice President Kamala Harris began her concession speech at Howard University.
“The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,” Harris said in the opening of her remarks. “But hear me when I say, the light of America’s promise will always burn bright — as long as we never give up, and as long as we keep fighting.”
In her concession speech, Vice President Kamala Harris said she told former President Donald Trump that her team would “engage in a peaceful transfer of power.”
“A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results,” Harris said. “That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny. And anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.”
