Kamala Harris delivers concession speech after Donald Trump’s US election win | BBC News

Kamala Harris has addressed the nation for the first time since Donald Trump's US election victory.

"We must accept the results of this election," Harris told the crowd at Howard University in Washington DC, adding that while the outcome is not what she wanted, "the light of America’s promise will always burn bright".

Earlier, Harris called Trump to concede the election.

Unfortunately for her she is burdened by what has been.

[BKT]

She admitted she lost.
Trump didn't.

[tkandake]

That’s the best speech I’ve ever heard from her actually. 🤔

[FactsTrumpFeelings.]

Hopefully we’ll never hear from her again

[chandrasekarank.l]

She has the courage to admit she has lost.

[mvaria]

The quality of true leadership. No disinformation, no hate spreading. Respect.

[Sk-nbyl]

What a graceful exit. Unlike Trump who was a bitter loser in 2020.

[Jack.harrison]

Good for her on this speech, I really like her optimism for the future

[yieldedvesels]

Kindness and respect - can we please move forward with this?

[oweng]

Thankfully we’ve been unburdened by what could have been.

[Prosperico]

Fortunately....the world has been unburdened by what could have been....

At least Kamala is man enough to admit she lost, not so much with Trump. Good luck to you USA.

She handled it with grace. This might be the end of her career as a presidential candidate, but the idea she put forward will be there. America is a democratic country. It will always be like this, as long as people have different opinions and views. ✨💖

what a expression !i never imagined that defeat can be confessed such that .and i am surprised to se her confidence and patience.she is really a good guy.best of luck for her upcoming days

[彭凯斯]

One of the American spirits is to give one's all and accept failure. She is a true American.

[RonaldPetrin]

We’ve gone from “lockemup” to report to your probation officer.

[montopeloto]

I don't know what Americans have in mind. But for many of us who live in other countries, we are sick and tired of the US and its wars, and that is precisely what Joe Biden did from the very beginning.

respect for a good and graceful loser! good speech ngl

[_Urahara_Kisuke_]

Ironically she gave her best speech only after her defeat.

What have you done to gain the respect of people?? You talk about solving problems that you created, how can a problem solve the problem itself??
