Kamala Harris Delivers Presidential Election Concession Speech At Howard University

Buy Me A Coffee

Kamala Harris has graciously handed over the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump. Cue dramatic music.

The Vice President, who was all set to make history as the first woman president of the United States (well, not this time), took to the stage on Wednesday, November 6, at Howard University to give a speech that was part concession, part pep talk, and full of unexpected wisdom.

โ€œThere are a lot of things I could say right now,โ€ she began, staring into the camera with that familiar โ€œIโ€™m going to say something profoundโ€ look. โ€œBut mostly, I just want to say, โ€˜Congratulations, Donald Trump, you won. Iโ€™m calling it.โ€™โ€ (OK, she didnโ€™t actually say that, but it would have been amazing if she did.)

Harris, who had a nice little chat with Trump earlier that day (probably while sipping some very cold coffee), congratulated the President-elect and promised a smooth transition of power. โ€œWeโ€™re going to be like good neighbors who borrowed each otherโ€™s lawnmowers once or twice. Peacefully. Mowing.โ€ She did say, though, that Americaโ€™s light of hope will continue to shine, even if itโ€™s a little dimmer today. But weโ€™ll keep trying!

โ€œBut hereโ€™s the thing,โ€ Kamala continued with an almost mystical tone, as if pulling a rabbit out of a hat. โ€œThe results may not be what we wanted. We wanted fireworks, glitter, and a confetti shower, but instead, we got a soggy, โ€˜mehโ€™ parade. But itโ€™s okay! We fight for whatโ€™s right. And thatโ€™s why this isnโ€™t over, people. The fight for freedom, fairness, and dignity will continueโ€ฆ just maybe not with me at the front of the line.โ€

Kamala then dropped a couple of truth bombs for the young people watching. โ€œItโ€™s okay to feel sad and disappointed, you know, because this whole ‘winning’ thing doesnโ€™t always go according to plan. But listen up: Iโ€™ve said it before, Iโ€™ll say it againโ€”When we fight, we win. And sometimes that fight just takesโ€ฆ a little longer. Like a lot longer. So hang tight!โ€

With a final smile and a well-placed hair flip, she signed off, leaving us all wondering: Does this mean sheโ€™s running in 2028? (She didnโ€™t confirm or deny, but weโ€™re ready to keep that hope alive!)

Oh, and if you missed the speech? Don’t worry, you can catch the full thing starting at 2:23:00. (Because really, who needs the first two hours of political drama anyway?)
