đŽ LIVE | Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to deliver a concession speech Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET from Howard University in Washington, D.C., following her defeat by former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Harris, who garnered 222 electoral votes, fell short of Trump's 291, as he clinched critical battleground states, surpassing the 270 electoral votes needed to secure the presidency. According to a senior aide, Harris called Trump to congratulate him and underscored the importance of a peaceful transition and a commitment to governing on behalf of all Americans. Trumpâs campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, noted that Trump acknowledged Harrisâs strength and professionalism throughout the campaign, with both leaders emphasizing the need to unify the country. President Biden also congratulated Harris on a "historic campaign" and spoke with Trump to pledge a smooth transition and stress the importance of national unity. Originally, Harris had planned to address supporters from her alma mater on election night; however, campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond advised supporters to return home as results were finalized. The election capped off an intense political season, marked by two assassination attempts on Trump and a surprise withdrawal by Biden in July, following a difficult debate performance. Harris quickly stepped in as the Democratic candidate, uniting her party and formally securing the nomination at the DNC convention in August, where she became the first woman of color to lead a major party ticket. #USElection #uselections2024 #uselection2024 #uselections #USA #DonaldTrump #KamalaHarris #uspresident âŹïž Always stay informed âŹïž đ Follow all the news on đČ https://euronews.com đ Subscribe âș https://www.youtube.com/@euronews đ Watch our LIVE here: https://www.youtube.com/c/euronews/live đ Follow us: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/euronews Twitter: https://twitter.com/euronews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/euronews.tv/
