Kamala Harris made her first public appearance since the election results were announced, addressing the nation from her alma mater, Howard University in Washington, D.C. She had initially planned to give a speech on election night but decided to wait until a winner was declared. In a phone call earlier in the day, Harris congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his victory. Joe Biden also reached out to Trump to offer his congratulations and extended an invitation to visit the White House.
Harris’ campaign was a whirlwind, starting in August when she joined forces with Biden after he decided not to seek a second term. The campaign garnered support from high-profile celebrities like Taylor Swift, Cardi B, and Ariana Grande. If elected, Harris would have been the first woman, Black woman, and person of South Asian descent to hold the position of President. In contrast, Trump’s win marks him as the second president to serve non-consecutive terms and the first convicted felon to be elected to office.
Harris has been a trailblazer throughout her career, and her potential win would have been another milestone in her journey. As we reflect on the election results, it is clear that both Harris and Trump have made history in their own right. To listen to Kamala Harris’ concession speech, you can tune in to the live stream provided by TMZ.
