Harris Concedes Defeat In Elections To Crowd But Warns Of ‘Darkness’

Background

By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News

WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – Vice President Kamala Harris acknowledged Wednesday that she had lost the U.S. presidential elections and called her rival Donald J. Trump to concede.

“Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him. I promised him that we would have a peaceful transition of power. While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight of this campaign: The ideals that reflect America at its best,” she said.

Speaking at Howard University in Washington to thousands of supporters, she said: “My heart is full of gratitude, full of love for the country. The outcome of this election is not what we want. But the light of America’s promise will also be bright.”

Harris, 60, added: “I am proud of the race” to the White House.” She said over “the last 107 days, we have brought people together in our fight for the country’s future.”

She told the young people who voted for her, “Don’t ever give up. You have power. Do not despair. This is a time to roll up our sleeves.”

Harris also referred to her fight for abortion across America, saying women have the right to decide over their bodies. Her critics, including Christians, counter that she did not protect the fights of the unborn.

PROSECUTOR JUSTICE

Harris recalled that she started as a prosecutor. “I found people who were victims but who fought for justice.”

Referring to her election defeat and President-elect Donald J. Trump’s soon-to-take-over of the White House, she said, “I know many people feel we enter a dark period. But the light of America will always turn bright as long as we keep fighting.”

She mentioned the “light of optimism” as well as faith, truth, and service and asked for God’s blessings over America.

Moments before her speech, U.S. President Joe Biden called to congratulate Trump on his presidential election victory and invited him to meet at the White House and will address the nation on Thursday.

The White House, in a statement after Trump beat Democratic Vice President Harris for the U.S. presidency, said Biden also committed “to ensuring a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of working to bring the country together.”

Biden has also spoken with Harris, it added.
