I haven't been a fan of Kamala Harris in the least, but I do have a lot of respect for this. She lost, and did so gracefully. She wasn't a sore loser, didn't say I lost cause of this or that, I like that.

[dklang]

Like her or not, she has a lot of guts and heart to give that speech with a smile, after losing to Trump

[jezero]

My dad was a strong republican, but he always said to listen to what people you disagree with have to say because you will always find something of value. Thank you Kamala for demonstrating grace, humility, and peace in a time of division.

Kamala is a class act! Kamala is a true Leader. Her words gives me strength!

Emotions are high but she’s handling and overcome it

I really appreciate this speech. It tells me that we can always be positive irrespective of the failures. Her speech is really inspiring. Governments and politicians from other countries must learn from America.
