Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her concession speech to the American people at Howard University in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday afternoon. Her address came hours after calling President-elect Donald Trump to concede earlier today.
The delayed timing echoes former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s concession in 2016, who also waited until the next day to deliver her concession.
Harris walked out to the podium wearing a black pantsuit, with the crowd cheering as Beyonce’s “Freedom” played in the background.
“My heart is full today, full of gratitude,” opened Harris.Harris thanked President Biden, her family, and the Walz family before thanking her supporters and volunteers. “I am so proud of the race we ran and the way we ran it.”
“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.” Harris then mentioned calling President-elect Trump to concede the race, and the crowd audibly booed.
Harris also said that she will accept the results of the election and will certify the results on January 6, but added loyalty must be to the Constitution first and foremost.
“While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign: the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness, for the dignity of all people.”
Harris reiterated her positions on guns and abortion, as part of the fight she will continue to uphold: “We will continue to wage this fight in the voting booth, in the courtroom, in the public square.”
Harris also comforted her younger supporters, saying “to the young people who are watching, it is okay to feel sad and disappointed. But please know it’s going to be okay.”
“This is not a time to throw up our hands, but to roll up our sleeves,” Harris added.

If she’s smart, would she obviously is not, she would not make any nasty comments about the alleged insurrection of January 6th 2020. The reason she should not is because when it’s all said and done, those were not people who heard President Trump’s speech. The timing just doesn’t work. The only person to get killed was a Trump supporter, an army veteran who was shot by someone from the Capitol Police, seemingly for no reason.
Of course the cackler is going to go ahead and poke fun or say something stupid like that but it’s something we come to expect out of her .
I hope she realizes how unburdened I feel by what has been her “administration ” and feel a lot of joy at her defeat! I wish her a lichtiga gehinom 🔥 🔥
hello, could you please delete the video of the non-tsanua part:
“This is not a time to throw up our hands, but to roll up our sleeves”.
The rest is pretty kosher, I mean vegetarian, in the sense of a “word salad” with some questionable sprinkles.
Good Riddance, and enjoy living out your days in the most infamous Delaware basement, tending to the needs of your Guru, crooked joe.
What future does she want her followers to fight for?? A future where boys and girls can be mutilated because they feel like the opposite gender that day? A future where there will be abortion on demand at any point in a pregnancy, aka, infanticide? A future where Israel is wiped off the face of the earth, c”v, in favor of your home girls in the squad? A future where hard working Americans can’t afford to feed their families? A future where criminals are the victims and victims are the criminals, just like in Sodom? Sorry, Cackling Kamala….the only future I’m looking forward to is when I never have to hear you or see your machashaifa face again!!
And we were supposed to believe this ignorant fool had a chance to win😂😂😂😂
She’s do happy she didn’t win
Can anyone explain why she yelled “Ay Jew!” at 11:06?
