“The result of the election is not what we expected”

Kamala Harris, vice president of the United States and defeated presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, gave her post-election speech this Wednesday – which she had canceled on election day – and accepted her defeat at the hands of Republican Donald Trump. “We must accept the results of the election,” he said, although he made it clear that it was not what they expected.

From what was her campaign bunker for “Super Tuesday,” Harris stated that hours ago she spoke with the elected 47th president of the United States and they talked about the transfer of command.

“Earlier I spoke (with Trump), greeted the president-elect and told him that we will help him during the transition and that It will be a peaceful transfer of command“said Joe Biden’s current vice president, who had to replace him in the electoral race and ended up being the face of the worst Democratic defeat in decades.

Without making direct reference to Trump’s refusal to accept defeat in 2020 at the hands of the current president, Harris distinguished his decision to abide by the results with that of his adversary four years ago and speak of peace in the handover, but left behind a sharp message.

“A major foundation of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, like any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny“, said.

He then went on to add: “Anyone who seeks popular trust must honor him. At the same time, in our Nation we owe him loyaltynot to the president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States. My loyalty to those three is why I am here to say that just as I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign. “The fight for freedom, for opportunity, for justice and the dignity of all people.”

Furthermore, he called on people not to give up and to continue fighting, even though the results of the elections have not been as expected. “The result of the election is not what we expected nor what we fought for, but believe me that the light of the American promise will always be bright as long as we don’t give up and keep fighting.”

The vice president, who assumed the mission of reaching the White House after the withdrawal in July of President Biden, who was suspected of suffering from health problems that affected the Democratic campaign.

Trump’s victory was announced this morning by obtaining more than the necessary 270 delegates of the Electoral College and he will assume his second presidency on January 20.

Hours before, just after midnight on Tuesday, as the election results arrived and pointed to a resounding defeat, the campaign Harris announced that canceled the appearance and postponed it to this Wednesday.

In her speech, which lasted just over ten minutes, the vice president thanked her campaign, her family and President Biden for the trust placed in her, as well as her presidential candidate, Governor Tim Waltz.
