Kamala Harris Concedes Presidential Election at Howard University

Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to deliver a concession speech on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET at Howard University, following her defeat by Donald Trump in the presidential election. Trump secured over 270 electoral votes, surpassing Harris's 222, and will be inaugurated as president next year. Originally planned for later in the evening, her remarks were moved up, reflecting the urgency of addressing her supporters at her alma mater. This election cycle was marked by significant turmoil, including two assassination attempts against Trump and President Biden's exit from the race after a poor debate performance. Harris's campaign was historic, as she became the first woman of color to lead a major party ticket, but ultimately, she will acknowledge her loss and end her presidential aspirations. Republican gains in the Senate and House races add further complexity to the political landscape post-election.
