When will Harris Give her Concession Speech?

Donald Trump, 78, was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election early Wednesday, surpassing the 270 electoral votes needed to secure the presidency. Trump won key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, and North Carolina, bringing his total to 277 electoral votes.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who was running to become the first woman of colour to lead the country, did not address her supporters on election night. Campaign spokesman Cedric Richmond explained, “We still have votes to count. We still have states that have not been called yet. We will continue, overnight, to fight to make sure that every vote is counted and that every voice has spoken.”

Harris has not yet spoken publicly or conceded. She is expected to speak later today after the final vote tallies. Harris cancelled an appearance on election night at Howard University, where she studied as an undergraduate, as the race tightened.

Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago watch party, Trump promised a “golden age” for America and declared, “This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.”
