Harris’ campaign co-chair, Cedric Richmond, told the audience gathered at what was planned to be the Democratic nominee’s election night party at Howard University that the vice president would not speak tonight, but that the campaign was not giving up the fight against Trump.
“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,” said Richmond. “So you won’t hear from the vice president tonight but you will hear from her tomorrow.”
Richmond said Harris would return to Howard “not only to address her supporters but to address the nation.”
The event, which began as a jubilant celebration of Harris and the prospect of a new presidency, began to sour as the Democrat’s path to victory narrowed.
