Vice President Kamala Harris Silent, Doesn’t Call President-Elect Donald Trump to Congratulate Him
SUMMARY
Vice President Kamala Harris did not make a customary concession call to President-Elect Donald Trump after his historic comeback win, which was announced following his victory in Pennsylvania. Fox News projected Trump as the winner early Wednesday morning, with Trump addressing his supporters at Mar-a-Lago at approximately 2:30 a.m. ET. Although NBC News reported that Harris aides recognized her loss and began strategizing future interactions with the Trump administration, Harris herself did not concede or make any public remarks at her election night gathering at Howard University, leaving early without a speech. Other major networks, including the Associated Press, CNN, and MSNBC, called the race for Trump later, around 6 a.m. ET. Despite the lack of a concession call, Trump emphasized unity in his speech, expressing a desire for Americans to come together and prioritize the nation.
