Vice president Harris formally conceded the 2024 election on Wednesday, urging her supporters not to despair her loss to President-elect Donald Trump, and to “never give up the fight for our democracy.”⁠

Earlier Wednesday, Harris called Trump to congratulate him on winning the presidential election, a senior Harris aide told reporters on Wednesday afternoon.⁠

“The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,” Harris said. “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.”
