In the admission of the election result and the defeat by Donald Trump it was also officially done by Kamala Harris. The current vice president recognized the victory of the Republican politician and asked for a smooth transfer of power, with respect for democracy and justice. At the same time, she declared that she will not give up her fight for democracy, justice and a better future for the United States of America.

Watch Kamala Harris’ speech from Howard University:

“My heart is full today,” Kamala Harris said as she began her speech. “It is full of gratitude for the trust you have shown me, full of love for our country and full of determination. The outcome of this election is not what I hoped and fought for. America’s light of promise will always shine bright as long as we don’t give up and as long as we keep fighting.”

“Thank you to my family, especially my husband, my beloved Doug, as well as Jill and Joe Biden, as well as my running mate Tish Walsh and his family.

I also thank my team, the volunteers, who gave so much of themselves, as well as the poll workers and local poll workers. “I’m so proud of the fight we fought and the way we fought it.”

He adds: “Our team is united by their love of America and the excitement and joy of fighting for the country’s future. The campaign was run on the premise that Americans have far more in common than what separates them.

I know people are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now. I got it. But we have to accept the results of this election. I spoke to Donald Trump and congratulated him on his victory.

I told him that we would participate in a peaceful transfer of power and that I would assist in the process. A fundamental principle of democracy is the acceptance of results. This distinguishes democracy from tyranny.”

He continued: “In our nation, we owe allegiance not to a president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States and allegiance to our conscience and to our God. My belief in all three is because I say, while I concede this election, I do not concede the struggle that fueled this campaign. The struggle for freedom, opportunity, justice and dignity of all people” represents the ideals that reflect America at our best.

I will never give up the fight for a future where Americans can pursue their dreams, their aspirations, where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their bodies and not have their government tell them what to do they do

He added: “We will never give up the fight for democracy, for the rule of law, for equal justice and for the rights and freedoms that must be respected and respected. We will continue to fight this fight in the elections, in the courts and in the public places.

My work will continue in the background as my team wants us to compete in quieter ways. This work involves how Americans treat each other.

We will continue to do the hard work, as hard work is good work. Fighting for our country is always worth it. The race sometimes takes a little longer, but that doesn’t mean we won’t win.”

Addressing the crowd, she called on them to… “Don’t give up. You have power.”

And he continued: “Do not despair. It’s not time to throw up our hands, it’s time to roll up our sleeves. This is the time to organize, mobilize and stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future we all know we can build together. Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. I know people feel we are entering a dark age. I hope that’s not the case.”

Kamala Harris phone call with Donald Trump

Earlier, Kamala Harris called Donald Trump and congratulated him on his victory in the presidential election.

In particular, according to an associate of the Democratic candidate, the Vice President during the communication with Donald Trump emphasized the importance of the peaceful transfer of power and being president for all Americans.

Jen O’Malley Dillon, Kamala Harris’ campaign chairwoman, informed campaign staff on Wednesday that the vice president told President-elect Donald Trump that she would work with President Joe Biden “to ensure a peaceful transfer of power, as opposed to what we saw in 2020,” according to an email cited by the Washington Post.

Donald Trump’s campaign has confirmed that he spoke to Kamala Harris by phone and congratulated him on winning the presidential election.

“President Trump also congratulated Vice President Harris for her strength, professionalism and tenacity throughout the campaign, and the two leaders agreed on the importance of uniting the country,” said Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Chung.

Kamala Harris is expected to give a speech later Wednesday at Howard University in Washington.

Former President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election and will return to the White House for a second term.

Following the victory of Trump, who forfeited the presidency in 2020 to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris this year, the presidential election process now enters a two-month transition period.

Congress is set to convene on January 6, 2025, to ratify the results of the Electoral College, and Trump will then be sworn in two weeks later on January 20. The term of the presidents always begins on that day as prescribed by the Constitution.
