Vice President Kamala Harris, who did not address supporters at her campaign’s watch party on Tuesday night, will wait until 6:00 p.m. ET Wednesday to deliver a concession speech, Reuters reported, citing two sources.
The presidential race was called for Donald Trump in the early morning hours on Wednesday after he was projected to beat Harris in the all-important swing states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump also won Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. The races in Arizona and Michigan have yet to be called as of Wednesday morning, but Trump remains in the lead in both states.
NBC News reported that Harris is also expected to call Trump at some point on Wednesday as is President Joe Biden.
The Harris campaign headquarters in Washington, D.C., was noticeably quiet on Tuesday night as many of her supporters headed for the exits after races were called for Trump in Georgia and North Carolina. Harris surrogate Lindy Li, a member of the DNC National Finance Committee, began pointing fingers for the campaign’s failures on Wednesday, saying that Harris’ VP pick Gov. Tim Walz was a bad choice, according to Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich. Li added that Harris made a mistake when she told “The View” that she would not do anything differently than President Joe Biden.
Trump addressed his supporters in West Palm Beach, Florida, in the early morning hours on Wednesday, and claimed victory. During his speech, he promised to deliver a “golden age of America.”

“Every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family, and your future. Every single day, I will be fighting for you. And with every breath in my body, I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America. That’s what we have to have. This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again,” Trump said.
