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 House.
“Whereas I concede this election, I don’t concede the battle that fueled this marketing campaign,” she instructed supporters, lots of them in tears, at her alma mater Howard College, a traditionally Black faculty in Washington.
Harris pledged to proceed preventing for ladies’s rights and in opposition to gun violence and to “battle for the dignity that every one individuals deserve”.
She stated 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 putting distinction to the homecoming a couple of weeks in the past on the Howard campus when 1000’s 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 1000’s of followers. Harris’ marketing campaign anthem, Beyonce’s “Freedom”, performed as she entered the stage.
Her operating 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 stated.
