Democratic candidate and incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris has announced that she will accept the election results after admitting defeat. Kamala spoke for the first time in public on Wednesday (November 6) local time after losing the election. He also urged the supporters not to be disappointed at this time. British news agency Reuters reported this news.
Standing at Washington's historically black college alma mater Howard University, Kamala told tearful supporters, 'I accept defeat at the polls. But I'm not giving up the fight.'
She vowed to continue fighting for women's rights and gun violence, and to 'fight for the dignity that all people deserve'.
Kamala called Trump to congratulate him on his victory in Tuesday's presidential election and promised a peaceful transfer of power.
He was saying, 'The result of this election is not what we wanted, not what we wanted, not what we voted for. But I say listen, listen to me: the light of America's promise will always shine.'
Harris spoke publicly on Wednesday. The rally included former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, White House aides to President Joe Biden and thousands of Democratic supporters.
As Kamala entered the stage, her campaign song 'Freedom' by Beyonce was played. At that time, his partner in the election race was Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Addressing the fans, especially the youngsters, Kamala said, 'Sometimes the fight takes some time. That doesn't mean we won't win.'
Kamala was announced as the Democratic nominee in July after Biden withdrew.
“I know many people think we are entering dark times,” he said. I hope that will not be the case. But if it does, let us fill the sky with light—the light of billions of bright stars…the light of hope, faith, truth and service.'
On Tuesday night, thousands of Americans were hoping for a historic victory for Kamala as a woman president in the country. But after the defeat, they gathered again on Wednesday to reiterate their support for Kamala.
Jamela Jose, 31, is a doctoral student at Howard. She said, 'America had the opportunity to move forward in a progressive and deliberate manner, and the legacy of white supremacy as a nation perpetuating racism, of treating women as second-class citizens, has shown that it is going to repeat its history.' Donna Bruce, 72, said she came to show her love and respect for Harris. He noted that he had just seen a little girl whose T-shirt read, 'A black girl will save the world.'
Donna was saying, 'I still believe this. That black girl may not be this (orange) girl, but I believe, that girl will be a black girl.'
