Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to concede the 2024 presidential election to President-elect Donald Trump in a speech Wednesday afternoon at Howard University.
Harris has not yet conceded her loss. She'll deliver a concession speech Wednesday at 4 p.m., her office announced. She'll speak at Howard University, her alma mater in Washington, where her supporters watched returns Tuesday night before being sent home after midnight as Trump pulled ahead in battleground states. Her campaign did not disclose any plans to speak to Trump.
Kamala Harris will be delivering a concession speech Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, 3 p.m. CT, 2 p.m. MT, 1 p.m. PT.
The outcome is particularly bitter for Harris because, as the sitting vice president, she is expected to oversee Congress' ceremonial certification of the election.
Although Harris pitched “a new way forward," she struggled to meaningfully differentiate herself from the unpopular sitting president. She also had limited time to introduce herself to skeptical voters, who never cast a ballot for her in a presidential primary.
Democrats now face the prospect of picking up the pieces during a second Trump presidency, and it's unclear what role Harris will play in her party's future.
