Kamala Harris conceded the 2024 presidential election on Wednesday, telling her supporters they should “never give up the fight” for the issues she campaigned on, including the rule of law and democracy.
Speaking from Howard University, her alma mater in Washington, DC, a day after losing her White House bid overwhelmingly to Donald Trump, Harris said she had called the Republican president-elect to congratulate him.
But in remarks clearly aimed at her erstwhile opponent, who never conceded his loss in the 2020 election, Harris told the crowd “we must accept the results of this election” and she would work to ensure “a peaceful transfer of power”.
