VIDEO: Kamala Harris Concedes Election But ‘Doesn’t Concede The Fight That Fueled This Campaign’

On Wednesday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris conceded her loss to Republican opponent Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election in a public speech at Howard University in Washington, D.C.

“My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love in our country,” she said as crowds of supporters cheered.

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

“While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign. The fight, the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness and the dignity of all people, a fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation, the ideals that reflect America at our best – that is a fight I will never give up.”
