Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris conceded the 2024 presidential election to Republican Donald Trump on Wednesday in a speech at her alma mater, Howard University.
"So let me say my heart is full today," Harris said. "The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say the light of America’s promise will always burn bright.”
Harris, once viewed as a potential savior for the Democratic Party after Joe Biden's reelection campaign stalled, is reckoning with a profound rejection by American voters in this year's presidential election.
A senior adviser to the vice president says Harris called Trump on Wednesday afternoon to concede the election and congratulate him on his victory.
In a tightly contested race, Trump secured at least 292 of the possible 538 electoral votes in Tuesday’s election, easily giving him the necessary majority to become only the second U.S. leader to win nonconsecutive terms, after Grover Cleveland in the 1890s.
