Vice President Kamala Harris, who reached out to congratulate President-elect Donald Trump following his 2024 election victory, is set to speak on Wednesday afternoon at Howard University in Washington, D.C.

The Democratic presidential candidate will give her address at 4 p.m. ET, as per the White House’s confirmation.

Harris had planned to speak at her election night event on Tuesday at the historically Black university where she studied. However, the election results indicated early Wednesday that Trump would win a second term in office.

Pre-election polls indicated a close race between Harris and Trump. Ultimately, former President Trump achieved a significant victory, securing all seven battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, which had previously been viewed as highly competitive.

Kamala Harris secured the Democratic presidential nomination after President Joe Biden exited the race in July, following a disappointing debate against former President Donald Trump on June 27.

Throughout her three-month campaign, Harris confronted the challenge of low approval ratings for President Biden, which were around 41% according to exit polls on Tuesday.

Her campaign and Democratic fundraising committees achieved record-breaking fundraising totals, bringing in over $1 billion since her nomination. Supporters included billionaires like Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, and former Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, while Elon Musk was part of Trump’s camp.
