VP Kamala Harris expected to speak Wednesday following election loss to Donald Trump
- Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to speak Wednesday afternoon at Howard University following her defeat in the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump.
Her remarks are expected at 4 p.m. While it wasn't explicitly stated that it would be a concession speech, it appears that might be the case.
The Associated Press called the election early Wednesday morning after former President Trump won the key state of Wisconsin. Both Harris and Trump made Wisconsin a central focus of their campaigns.

As Trump racked up electoral votes Tuesday night, Cedric Richmond, Kamala Harris' campaign co-chair, addressed her rally at Howard.
"We still have votes to count. We still have states that have not been called yet. We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted. That every voice has spoken," Richmond said.
"So, you won't hear from the vice president tonight, but you will hear from her tomorrow. She will be back here tomorrow, to addresses not only the HU family, not only to address her supporters, but to address the nation."
