WASHINGTON: US Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a concession speech to the nation on Wednesday (Nov 6) after a whirlwind marketing campaign that did not cease Republican Donald Trump’s return to the White Home.
“Whereas I concede this election, I don’t concede the battle that fuelled this marketing campaign,” she informed supporters, lots of them in tears, at her alma mater Howard College, a traditionally Black school in Washington.
Harris pledged to proceed combating for ladies’s rights and in opposition to gun violence and to “battle for the dignity that every one individuals deserve”.
She mentioned she had known as President-elect Trump, congratulated him on his triumph and promised to interact in a peaceable switch of energy.
The somber temper was in hanging distinction to the homecoming a number of weeks in the past on the Howard campus when hundreds of scholars and alumni gathered forward of what they hoped could be the election of the nation’s first graduate of traditionally Black Schools and Universities as president.
Harris addressed a crowd that included former Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi, aides in President Joe Biden’s White Home and hundreds of followers. Harris’ marketing campaign anthem, Beyonce’s “Freedom”, performed as she entered the stage.
Her working mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, joined the group.
Harris inspired her supporters, particularly younger individuals, not to surrender even of their disappointment.
“Typically the battle takes some time. That does not imply we cannot win,” she mentioned.
