Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday afternoon conceding defeat in the presidential election to now-President-elect Donald Trump, delivering remarks at Howard University.
“My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country and full of resolve,” 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.”
“Look, I am so proud of the race we ran. And the way we ran it. And the way we ran it over the 107 days of this campaign,” she said, thanking her supporters.
“Now I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now. I get it. But we must accept the results of this election. Earlier today, I spoke with President elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory,” she said.
She, nonetheless, vowed to continue fighting for her principles and the ideals of America.
“A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the result,” she added. “That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny, and anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it. At the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party but to the Constitution of the United States, and loyalty to our conscience and to our God.”
“My allegiance to all three is why I am here to say, while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuels this campaign,” she declared.
The Associated Press called the race for Trump early on Wednesday morning. As of press time, he is projected to carry 292 electoral votes to Harris’s 226.

Let’s call a spade a spade, Kamals’s concession speech was back-to-back platitudes. The same individual who tried portraying an aura of statesmanship just a few days ago was referring to President Trump using terms like liar, fascist, Nazi and her party’s head referred to Republicans as garbage. Kamala is a poor candidate, never elected by her party only selected by a few. Her campaign was one of name calling, lies and deception. She didn’t sit for unstructured interviews admitting she does not do well with spontaneity. She failed measurably as border czar, she did nothing as VP a position she did not earn (DEI). Finally, this miserable 3+ year period of lawfare, deceit, and fiscal mismanagement is over. The border will soon be closed, illegal aliens will be deported. Kamala’s political career, now at age 60 is over and, as a former Californian, I join many in rejoicing.
I listened to her speech and was impressed. Half of what she said the democratic party wanted are the same issues that President Trump ran on. If they would have run on theses issues and spent less time demonizing President Trump the election might have turned out differently.
As it is, the democratic party has some serious sole searching to do and they really need to clean house.
