vice-president Kamala Harris has officially conceded the 2024 presidential election. The 60-year-old former Democratic candidate appeared on stage to address his supporters and the nation from Washington DC on Wednesday, November 6. At the start of her concession speech, Harris noted that she had personally called the president-elect Donald Trump to congratulate him on his second election.

“So let me tell you…my heart is full today,” the former prosecutor began. “Full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country and full of determination. The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, nor what we fought for, nor what we voted for, but this is when I say: the light of America’s promise will always shine. As long as we never give up and keep fighting.

“While I recognize this election, I do not recognize the fight that fueled this campaign. The fight for freedom, opportunity, fairness and dignity for all, and the ideals at the heart of this nation… it is a fight I will never give up.

“Even if I recognize this election, I do not recognize the fight that fueled this campaign,” she stressed. “The fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness and dignity for all; a fight for the ideals that are at the heart of our nation, the ideals that reflect the best of America. It’s a fight I will never give up.

She then told young voters that everything “will be fine” and that “sometimes the fight takes time.”

Harris embarked on her brief but effective presidential campaign in July after Biden, 81, withdrew from the race. He immediately endorsed her, and the California native traveled across the United States to motivate voters.
