In a historic moment for the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris has officially conceded the 2024 presidential election to former President Donald Trump.
Harris called Trump on Wednesday, congratulating him on his electoral victory, marking the conclusion of a bitterly fought and deeply polarising campaign season.
According to a senior aide to Harris who shared insights on the call, Harris emphasised the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and urged unity as the country prepares to transition leadership.
After a hard-fought campaign that saw deep divides among the electorate, Harris’s call signifies a commitment to uphold democratic values. Her outreach to Trump reinforces a tradition of civility in American politics, where election results are respected, and power is handed over without obstruction.
Vice President Harris is scheduled to address the nation for the first time since her defeat, speaking at Howard University at 4:00 p.m. EST (9:00 p.m. GMT) on Wednesday.
