Vice President Kamala Harris said she told former President Donald Trump in her concession speech that his team would “engage in a peaceful transfer of power.”

“A fundamental tenet of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results,” Harris said. “This principle, like all others, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny. And all who seek the trust of the people must respect it.”

Vice President Kamala Harris begins her concession speech at Howard University.

“The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, it is not what we fought for, it is not what we voted for,” Harris said in opening her speech. “But hear me when I say this, the light of America’s promise will always burn bright—as long as we never give up and keep fighting.”

Vice President Kamala Harris’ motorcade has arrived at Howard University, where she will deliver her concession speech, according to journalists traveling with her.

At Howard University, where Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to give a speech at 4 p.m., the atmosphere is gloomy and the crowd is small.

Only a few hundred people were present ahead of Wednesday’s speech, unlike the thousands who gathered on Tuesday night.

Campaign workers were seen, bleary-eyed, embracing and catching up. Some burst into tears, shock evident on their faces.
