On a Wednesday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris took to the stage to deliver her concession speech. Despite her loss to former President Donald Trump in the US election, Harris spoke with a full heart. She emerged from behind the curtains, smiling, waving, and clapping, basking in the support of her audience. "Good afternoon," she greeted them multiple times. "Thank you all."
The crowd cheered and Harris responded with gratitude, saying "I love you back." She then proceeded to express her emotions, saying "Let me say, my heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me. Full of love for our country and full of resolve." Harris also took a moment to address the young people watching, assuring them that it's okay to feel sad or disappointed in the election results. "Sometimes the fight takes a while," she said. "That doesn't mean we won't win."
Harris reminded everyone to never give up and to keep trying to make the world a better place. "Don't let anyone tell you something is impossible because it has never been done before," she encouraged. Her words were powerful and heartfelt, as she spoke from her alma mater, Howard University, where she had planned to celebrate on election night. However, as the results showed a narrow path to victory, Harris stayed at the Naval Observatory, causing her disappointed supporters to leave.
After the critical swing state of Michigan was called for Trump, Harris placed a phone call to him. According to a senior aide, she stressed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans. Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung confirmed the phone call, stating "President Donald J Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke by phone earlier today where she congratulated him on his historic victory."
As of 4pm ET, Trump had secured 292 of the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win, while Harris had only 224. This was on track to be the fewest electoral votes for a Democratic nominee since 1988. Trump's victory was due to his wins in key battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, which he referred to as the "blue wall."
In a message to his supporters, Trump promised to continue fighting for them and their families. "I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America that our children deserve," he declared. He also spoke of unlocking America's glorious destiny and achieving an incredible future for the people. Trump's speech declaring victory early Wednesday morning was filled with passion and determination. He stated that "God spared my life for a reason" and that reason was to "save our country and restore America to greatness."
Many have considered Trump's victory to be the greatest comeback in American political history. Despite facing defeat in the 2020 election and enduring four criminal convictions and two assassination attempts, Trump never gave up. He promised to continue working towards a better future for America and its citizens.
