*This afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a speech conceding defeat in the presidential election to Donald Trump. Watch the video above for the specifics of her address to the nation.

The speech took place at Howard University, a significant venue for Harris as it is her alma mater. The university had previously served as a starting point for her journey in politics, including the launch of her 2020 presidential campaign, reports The Guardian.

Earlier, in the lead-up to the moment, supporters gathered at Howard’s historic campus during election night, initially brimming with hope. However, as the election results began to tilt away from the Democrats, enthusiasm faded into a somber atmosphere. Earlier in the evening, Harris had been expected to address her supporters, but she did not make an appearance. Instead, Cedric Richmond, co-chair of her campaign, took the stage to reassure the crowd about the ongoing count of ballots and the importance of every vote.

The New York Times has reported that Harris is also planning to make a concession call to Trump today. Although not legally required, this act of concession is a long-standing tradition in U.S. elections, recognizing the role of democratic processes and promoting a peaceful transfer of power.

The practice of conceding has varied in recent elections. In 2016, Hillary Clinton delivered her concession speech the morning following the election, acknowledging Trump’s victory and urging support for him as the new president. In contrast, Trump famously refused to concede the 2020 election to Joe Biden, a departure from past norms that has been contentious in the political landscape.

For those wishing to watch Harris’s concession speech live, major news outlets are expected to cover the event. CBS will stream the speech, and CNN plans to make it available on its YouTube channel. The Guardian will also provide live coverage, reinforcing its commitment to delivering real-time updates to viewers.

As Harris prepares to make this poignant address, it signifies not only a personal chapter in her journey but also reflects the shifting tides of U.S. political dynamics.
