Kamala Harris finally concedes election to Donald Trump hours after his sweeping win

Kamala Harris finally called Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon to concede the election, hours after the race was called and her devastating defeat was confirmed.

But she had a warning for the newly elected president, lecturing him while congratulating him.

“She discussed the importance of a peaceful transition of power and the presidency for all Americans,” a senior Harris aide said.

Harris repeatedly promised during her campaign to be a president “for all Americans.”

She will yield to the nation at Howard University later today – nearly 12 hours after the election was called for her Republican rival. Trump is spending the day at his home in Mar-a-Lago.

Her call came shortly after Michigan was called for the president-elect, making him the third state in the “blue wall” of states that would decide the election.

Trump now has 292 electoral votes to Harris’ 224. It takes 270 votes to become president.

Harris is on track to do worse than Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential election. She could even be on track to have the worst result of any Democrat in the Electoral College since the 1988 election.

Democrats were counting on the “blue wall” to give Harris the White House. But Trump won the trio of states: Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Joe Biden won all three in 2020, but Harris could not keep them in the Democrats’ corner.

Trump is the first president in more than 130 years – and only the second in history – to win a non-consecutive second term.

Exit polls show his victory came after he made gains with almost every voting bloc he lost in the 2020 election and built a coalition of multi-ethnic working-class voters.

And Harris underperformed Biden on Tuesday in the 2020 battle among key voting groups, including women, the working class and Latinos.

This is evident from figures from exit polls.

But the election results also come down to this: Trump had vision for America while Harris had word salad, voters trusted him more to fix the economy, and the American people thought Biden was putting the country on the wrong track.

It all led to Donald Trump overcoming a criminal conviction, indictments and an assassin’s bullet and returning to the White House.

And Trump did it in a landslide. The election that was predicted to be a nail-biter was instead a red tsunami.

Trump won not only the electoral college, but also the popular vote, with 71.2 million votes to Harris’ 66.4 million. It is telling that Harris received fewer votes than Biden in 2020. That year their ticket won 81 million votes.

The popular vote is still being counted, but Trump could be the first Republican president since George W. Bush to win it.

Trump, 78, will also become the oldest president ever inaugurated, beating President Joe Biden’s record by five months.

“This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time,” Trump said on election night, as he appeared on stage with his family before his adoring supporters.

“This is a wonderful victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.”

Meanwhile, President Biden has also been noticeably quiet after the election.

The sitting president reportedly watched the results with family and close friends at the White House late Tuesday evening.

But Fox News’ Peter Doocy reported around 11 p.m. ET that the lights in the executive mansion had slowly gone out room by room, indicating that residents were heading to bed before the race was called.

There is still no comment from the White House on the presidential race.
