Kamala Harris calls Donald Trump and formally concedes the election.

According to reports, Vice-President Kamala Harris has spoken out after phoning President-Elect Donald Trump.

For the Democratic nominee, the call is significant since it formally acknowledges that she has lost to the Republican Party candidate, who will become the 47th president of the United States.

According to a senior person close to Harris, the vice president has “emphasised the peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans,” according to CBS News.

When Harris makes her speech at Howard University later today, the public is anticipated to hear her address.

Trump recently captured the swing state of Michigan, adding to his already impressive list of strategic battlegrounds that he has previously captured in North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and—most notably—four of the five electoral votes in the fiercely disputed state of Nebraska.

Although it was predicted to be one of the most competitive presidential contests ever before the election, the 78-year-old is allegedly on course to win every single one since he is leading in the two swing states that remain, Arizona and Nevada.

It will be Trump’s second term in charge, after being voted out at the last election, having only began his political career with the Republican Party nine years ago. Unlike Harris, Trump was rather less elegant and graceful when he found out he lost to President Biden. He took to Twitter to make claims of alleged voter fraud, however, the Trump campaign failed to prove these claims, NBC reported at the time. In a statement, Trump alleged that Biden’s ‘media allies’ were ‘are trying so hard to help him’, adding: “I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”

 

 

With a judge ruling that Trump could potentially be sued after he called on them to “fight like hell,” which District Judge Amit Mehta said could “reasonably be viewed as a call for collective action,” riots broke out on January 6 as MAGA supporters and QAnon conspiracy theorists stormed the Capitol in response to the election.

A subsequent investigation determined that the hostility in the US capital was prompted by Trump’s tweet, which was released at 01.42 local time on December 19, 2020.

“Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election,” he tweeted. Large-scale demonstration on January 6th in D.C. It will be wild, so be there.”

 

However, Harris’ defeat implies that the United States will have to wait much longer for a female president.
