Harris’s Response to Trump’s Win
Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly acknowledged former President Donald Trump as the projected winner of the 2024 election, according to a senior aide who spoke with Scripps News. Harris called Trump to congratulate him and discuss the importance of a smooth transfer of power, as well as the significance of representing all Americans.
Electoral Projections and Remaining State Count
As of Wednesday afternoon, both Scripps News and Decision Desk HQ projected that Trump had secured at least 301 electoral votes. Arizona remains the sole undecided state, but projections suggest Trump could sweep all seven battleground states, securing a decisive victory.
Campaign Reactions to Election Outcome
Harris was expected to address her supporters late Tuesday night; however, campaign strategist Cedric Richmond spoke instead, as the outcome tilted strongly in Trump’s favor. The following morning, updated projections indicated Trump would win the election.
Reflections from Harris’s Campaign Team
In an internal memo, campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon expressed deep disappointment over the results, describing the loss as “unfathomably painful.” She acknowledged the difficulty of the moment but reinforced the mission of protecting America from the effects of a Trump presidency, a goal she believes remains ongoing.
Dillon encouraged the team to view this as a beginning rather than an end, echoing the words of Harris: “Hard work is good work,” and looking forward to standing together in the challenging times ahead.
