“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. The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for. But hear me when I say, the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.”
That was Vice President Kamala Harris as she began her concession speech on the campus of Howard University, her alma mater.
Speaking to a crowd of thousands cheering and calling her name, with poise and gratitude, Harris expressed her pride in the campaign’s unity and resolve, acknowledging the pain of defeat but urging Americans not to lose hope.
