Historic presidential race ends: What happened at Howard University yesterday
After a tight presidential race **Kamala Harris** gave her final campaign speech at Howard University. The first-ever HBCU graduate presidential candidate faced an unexpected turn in battleground states
At Howard University yesterday Kamala Harris delivered her post-election address after an un-expected defeat in the presidential race. The crowd (filled with emotional supporters and long-time allies) watched as she spoke at her old college
While I concede this election‚ I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign
The vice-presidentʼs speech happened right after she phone-called president-elect Donald Trump to start the power-transfer process. Notable figures like ex-house speaker Nancy Pelosi and White House staff joined thousands of supporters while Beyonces “Freedom“ played in the background
Despite getting more campaign funds and support after becoming the democratic nominee in mid-summer Harris didnt manage to keep key battle-ground states. Her running mate Tim Walz stood with the crowd as she talked about moving forward
- Continuing womens rights work
- Standing against gun problems
- Fighting for peoples basic dignity
The mood was different from just few weeks ago when the campus was full of hope - now many supporters came back to show their support anyway. A 72-year old fan Donna Bruce shared her thoughts: “Its not about just today; its about what comes next“
