Admitting her defeat in the elections to president-elect Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris showed a combative mood by stating that she will not concede the fight that fuelled her presidential election campaign. Harris said, ‘While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuels this campaign’.
She added, ‘This is a time to organise, to mobilise and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know, we can build together’. During the call, she said, she promised a peaceful transition of power. She noted that there is disappointment among her supporters.“I get it, but we must accept the results of this election. I also told him that we will help him and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power, a fundamental principle of American democracy’.
Harris campaign aides stood to one side of the stage as she spoke and exchanged hugs, including Jen O’Malley Dillon, David Plouffe, and Brian Fallon.Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser were seen conversing in the crowd. Many of Harris’s younger family members were wiping away tears as they left the rally.
The vice president went into a combative mood cautioning that she and her supporters would continue to fight for the issue that they have been fighting for. Harris said, “In our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States, and loyalty to our conscience and to our God that is why I am here to say, while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuels this campaign”.
The vice president said she will never give up the fight for a future where Americans can pursue their dreams, ambitions and aspirations, where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their own body and not have their government telling them what to do.
