(Townhall) Who the hell would come to this event? Your candidate loses a presidential election, the campaign tells you to go home, and then you return for the concession speech. These people are gluttons for punishment. The observations from CNN Abby Phillip were spot-on: the joy and hope have been sucked out of the room. She also said that despite the music in the background, the mood at Howard University, where Harris delivered the ‘I lost’ speech, was somber.
It was a short address that didn’t require the hours-long wait. It’s nothing that you haven’t heard before from Kamala, albeit with less awkward cackles. The vice president thanked her family, the family of weirdo Tim Walz and his odd clan, and the many volunteers, staffers, and poll workers who helped her failed presidential bid.
She said the outcome was not what we wanted or voted for, but the light of America’s promise will always burn bright, adding how she was still full of gratitude and love for our country.
Kamala then spoke about how proud of the race they ran and the way they ran it—whatever that means. She lost; there’s nothing to be proud about. She spoke about the goal of building communities and coalitions united by a love of country and America’s future. The vice president obviously failed in that objective. Harris then officially conceded the race and said she would help President-elect Donald Trump with the transition.
She later swiped at him, saying that a fundamental principle is that we accept the results; that separates us from monarchism and authoritarianism.
