Kamala Harris calls Donald Trump, concedes defeat in US presidential election
The presidential candidate of the Democrats and U.S Vice-President, Kamala Harris has called the president-elect Donald Trump, and conceded defeat.
Harris has congratulated Trump on winning the 2024 presidential election, according to CBS News, BBC’s US partner.
During the call, Harris emphasised the peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans.
Vanguard had reported that Harris would speak to his supporters tomorrow. She is expected to address the public when she delivers remarks at Howard University later today.
On the other hand, Trump in a letter signed by his campaign manager commended his supporters for a job well done, promises to take Americans to enviable heights.
In a statement sent out by his campaign, Donald Trump reflects on his historic win, calling it “a political victory that our country has never seen before”.
He then promises that he will “fight” for America, a repeated phrase we often heard on the campaign trail.
“I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve,” he says.
“Together, we’re going to unlock America’s glorious destiny. “Thank you once again for electing me in a landslide victory.”
