Vice President Kamala Harris formally conceded in a speech Wednesday afternoon at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she urged her followers to continue fighting for democracy. Former President Donald Trump will be serving a second term after he was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election early Wednesday by the Associated Press.

Vice President Kamala Harris has called her election opponent, former President Donald Trump, to concede the election and congratulate him on his victory. Harris was expected to reach out to the president-elect before addressing the nation later Wednesday afternoon.

Donald J. Trump, the once and now future president, capped an improbable political comeback by defeating Vice President Kamala Harris on promises to turbocharge the economy and deport undocumented immigrants by the millions.
