We have to accept the results of this election – US Vice President Kamala Harris announced in her speech starting at 4:00 pm Eastern time on Wednesday that she admits that she lost to her Republican challenger in the presidential election held in the United States on Tuesday, after her first term ended in 2020 against a resurgent Donald Trump. Kamala Harris said that she had previously called Donald Trump and congratulated him on his victory, promising to help him take power. “I admit that I was defeated in this election, but I will not admit defeat in the fight that drove this campaign forward,” he added, saying that he will never give up the fight for democracy and the future in which Americans they can make their dreams come true. “Only when it’s dark enough do you see the stars,” he subtly hinted with a Martin Luther King quote about what he thinks about the next four years, which will again be spent in the United States under the presidency of Donald Trump.
As a matter of fact, we can add, the Democrats also need stars, because with the departure of President Joe Biden, they are practically without a leader to become the opposition. Not to mention that they should face themselves and at least one of them should take responsibility for the mistakes made in the campaign.
Kamala Harris made a late public appearance at Howard University in Washington, about 12 hours after world political leaders led by French President Emmanuel Macron congratulated Donald Trump on his presidential victory. The vice-president, Democratic presidential candidate, stood to give a speech with a total of about 30 American flags behind him, he notes az AP – and although his vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden was not present in his audience. He was in the White House watching the live broadcast on television.
According to the results of the presidential election, which are still in progress on Wednesday, Donald Trump has so far won 295 electoral votes beyond the minimum 270 necessary for victory – he won all seven major battleground states, including Michigan most recently – and Kamala Harris has 226. On Tuesday, full House of Representatives, partial Senate and gubernatorial elections were held in the United States. Republicans won in these as well, and according to the current state of affairs, at least 202 of their politicians can sit in the 435-member federal house of representatives in Washington (at least 189 for the Democrats), and at least 52 (44 for the Democrats) in the 100-member Senate. Twenty-seven states will have Republican governors and 23 will have Democratic governors.
Americans have chosen between the unknown and the repulsive, but maybe Donald Trump won’t hurt as much
