Kamala concession speech 2024: Biden breaks his silence on Trump’s election victory as Harris addresses nation

Advertisement

President Joe Biden has called Donald Trump to congratulate him on his sweeping election victory over Kamala Harris and has invited him to the White House.

The 81-year-old commander-in-chief, who watched the astonishing results from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Tuesday night, is also planning to address the nation on Thursday.

Harris called Trump to officially admit her loss and urge him to ‘importance of a peaceful transfer of power’ just after 1:30 pm on Wednesday. President Joe Biden also called Trump and plans to address the nation tomorrow after the shift of power.

Barbara Heineback, a former Carter White House staffer and the first black press office employee for the First Lady’s office, said she was disappointed with the ‘classless’ and ‘sore loser’ Democrat for waiting so long.

Harris’ camp said she will give a speech to supporters at Howard University at 4pm.  

Trump’s political comeback was hailed as the ‘greatest in history’ after the former president sealed a stunning return to the White House early Wednesday morning. 

He successfully destroyed the ‘blue wall’ of traditionally Democratic stronghold midwestern states, securing wins in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Breaking:Democrat Elissa Slotkin wins Michigan Senate seat in hotly-contested race

Rep. Elissa Slotkin squeaked by with a victory against former Rep. Mike Rogers in the swing state Senate race.

The margin of victory was much too-close-for-comfort for the Democratic representative in an increasingly blue-leaning state as she was 4.2 percent behind with 66 percent of the vote tabulated around 1:30 a.m. on Election Night.

When the race was called on Wednesday afternoon, Slotkin edged out Rogers by less than one percent.

Rogers had hoped to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow, helping Republicans grow their new majority in the U.S. Senate.

Democrat blame game begins: Furious party says it’s Joe Biden and Tim Walz’s fault Kamala Harris lost in humiliating election result

The bickering over who was to blame for Kamala Harris’ defeat at the presidential election began in earnest even before the result was declared.

Democrats blamed Tim Walz for being too left wing, too folksy, and too tainted by the Kenosha riots, while others blamed every demographic possible.

Not enough white women showed up, too many black men switched to Donald Trump since 2020, and Hispanic voters abandoned the party.

House Democratic leader says the chamber ‘remains very much in play’

Jon Michael Raasch, Political Reporter in Atlanta for DailyMail.com

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries believes Democrats still have a chance to take control.

‘The House remains very much in play,’ he said in a statement released on Wednesday.

‘The path to take back the majority now runs through too close to call pick-up opportunities in Arizona, Oregon and Iowa – along with several Democratic-leaning districts in Southern California and the Central Valley.’

The Democrat, who represents an area outside of New York City, also celebrated how Democrats flipped multiple seats in the Empire State.

Dozens of House races still have yet to be called by the Associated Press.

Trump tears down ‘blue wall’ by sweeping Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin

By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter

Donald Trump absolutely obliterated the midwest ‘blue wall’ Democrats were hoping would hold in the 2024 election and deliver a victory to Vice President Kamala Harris.

The race was called for the new president-elect over night in battlegrounds of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin . Then Wednesday afternoon, the Associated Press called the race in Michigan as Trump prepares to sweep all seven of the swing states.

Harris’s campaign had hope the VP could take at least some of the rust belt, but Trump’s blue collar base showed up and handed him a victory in all three states.

According to calls made by the Associated Press, Trump won Pennsylvania by 2.2 percent , Wisconsin by 0.9 percent and Michigan by 1.4 percent.

Breaking:Democrat Tammy Baldwin holds onto Wisconsin Senate seat after run for money by Republican Eric Hovde

Democrat Tammy Baldwin held onto her Wisconsin Senate seat after being given a run for her money by Republican businessman Eric Hovde.

The Associated Press projected that Baldwin won, holding back the strong Republican challenge by Donald Trump-backed Hovde.

It was a nail-biting race that had the candidates neck-and-neck leading into Election Day.

Republicans had hoped to flip the seat red this cycle as the GOP works to take back control of the Senate.

Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro all wore dark outfits for the post-Election Day episode on Wednesday, although Whoopi Goldberg opted for a white shirt and a pink floral jacket.

Donald Trump wins Michigan

He won it by improving on his 2020 vote haul in populous Oakland and Kent Counties, while improving on his numbers across almost the entire state.

He was leading Kamala Harris 53-46 with more than 80 percent of the vote counted.

Michigan played an outsized role in the primaries and again in the general election as one of the most competitive battleground states.

It has 15 electoral votes but looms large in the national consciousness as the heart of the U.S. auto industry.

The state is a key plank in the ‘blue wall’ that Trump cracked in 2016 – after Hillary Clinton famously failed to visit the state until days before Election Day.

Joe Biden grabbed it back in 2000, and it served as a major battleground between Trump and Harris.

The first sign that Michigan would pose trouble for Democrats came in the primary, where Israel’s war in Gaza was proving increasingly unpopular.

Jon Michael Raasch, Political Reporter in Atlanta for DailyMail.com

The longest-serving party leader in Senate history, Mitch McConnell, gave a heartfelt congratulations to Donald Trump on Wednesday.

‘It’s certainly a happy day on behalf of the GOP,’ McConnell said on Capitol Hill. ‘Let me congratulate Donald Trump.’

The two have often butted heads, and McConnell drew Trump’s fury years ago for bashing the former president’s handling of January 6.

‘What he’s accomplished for the first time since Grover Cleveland,’ the Republican remarked, noting how only one other president in U.S. history won non-consecutive terms.

Netanyahu says he spoke with Trump on Wednesday

‘The conversation was warm and cordial,’ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.

‘The Prime Minister congratulated Trump on his election victory, and the two agreed to work together for Israel’s security. The two also discussed the Iranian threat.’

Netanyahu’s office said he was among the first world leaders to call Trump after his victory.

Nail-biter Michigan Senate contest has Mike Rogers and Elissa Slotkin separated by just a few hundred votes

A Senate race that pitted two former national security officials against each other has them separated by just a few hundred votes in Michigan, with the strength of Donald Trump’s Senate majority still to be set.

Republican Mike Rogers, a former FBI official who has voiced Trump criticism in the past but has closely aligned with him in his election battle, was leading in the count into the early hours of Wednesday morning.

But Democratic rival Rep. Elissa Slotkin passed him in the late morning, as votes from Wayne County, which includes Detroit, finally came in.

With 95 percent of the vote in, Slotkin was leading Rogers 48.5 to 48.4 percent, as the lead went up and down between a few hundred and 1,000 votes.

Exclusive:Trump takes calls from world leaders as his team recovers from 5:30am Mar-a-Lago party

From Rob Crilly, Chief U.S. Political Correspondent in West Palm Beach, Florida

Donald Trump spent Wednesday morning recharging his batteries and getting used to his status as president elect by receiving and returning calls from world leaders, according to a source in Palm Beach, Florida .

With Vice President Kamala Harris expected to concede defeat with a speech later in the day, he cut a low profile after his stunning return to power.

His senior staff, family, and friends partied at Mar-a-Lago until 5:30am, celebrating his improbably comeback.

‘They are letting him make the phone calls he needs to make,’ said an insider.

‘That’s the important thing, right? He has to talk to world leaders, accept their congratulations and hear what their priorities are. And that’s what he’s doing right now.’

Nevada prepares to flip red for the first time in a decade

Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter in Las Vegas, Nevada

Donald Trump is leading in Nevada in a sign the state will flip red for the first time since the 2004 election.

As of Wednesday morning, the Associated Press has not called the presidential race in Nevada.

But with 84 percent of the vote tabulated, Trump is leading over Vice President Kamala Harris by 4.7 percent.

Nevada takes a while to tabulate all the votes considering state law allows for the counting of mail-in ballots that are received up to three days after Election Day.

Where does the presidential race stand in Michigan?

Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter

The Associated Press has still not called the presidential election results in Michigan.

With 98 percent of the vote tabulated as of midday on Wednesday, Donald Trump is ahead of Kamala Harris by 1.6 percent.

With only about 90,000 votes separating the two, the AP is waiting until votes in some critical counties are counted to call the race one way or the other.

Still, Trump doesn’t need Michigan, he already won the popular vote and the Electoral College votes needed to take the White House.

Today fans fear for Savannah Guthrie after Trump election win

Savannah Guthrie has left viewers seriously impressed after she returned to NBC on Wednesday morning following around-the-clock election coverage – with many shocked at how she was still awake.

The broadcaster, 52, had hosted Tuesday’s episode of Today as normal before going on to lead the network’s primetime coverage of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’s race to the White House later that night.

There was no rest for Savannah, who was back on screens at the top of the morning to announce that Trump had pulled off a political comeback after being declared the winner of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

Multiple Senate races still yet to be called after Republicans retake majority

Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter in Phoenix, AZ:

Republicans have recaptured the majority in the Senate for the first time in four years, but how large their majority remains to be seen.

There are still several races that are too close to call:

In Arizona, Democrat Ruben Gallego is currently leading Republican Kari Lake.

In Michigan, Democrat Elissa Slotkin is leading Republican Mike Rogers in the race for the open seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow.

In Nevada, Republican Sam Brown is leading Democratic incumbent Senator Jacky Rosen by less than 1,000 votes.

In Pennsylvania, Republican David McCormick is leading Democratic incumbent Senator Bob Casey.

In Wisconsin, Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin has a slight edge on Republican challenger Eric Hovde.

Voters are still being counted and some races are likely to head to recounts, but should the numbers hold, Republicans would add two more seats to their 52 seat majority having flipped three seats already in the November election.

Harris campaign invites supporters to Howard University for her concession speech

‘We invite you to join the Harris-Walz campaign for an event with Vice President Kamala Harris today at Howard University in Washington, D.C.,’ read the text.

‘Doors will open at 1:00 PM.’

Harris was scheduled to speak at Howard on Tuesday night and the atmosphere at the event was jubilant as initial results rolled in.

As the night dragged on and it became clear that Harris would not defeat Trump, her supporters grew dour.

Cedric Richmond, Harris’ campaign co-chair, then told the audience they ‘won’t hear from the vice president tonight.’

Republicans take the Senate, but House control still up for grabs

Republicans have won control of the Senate, retaking the chamber for the first time in four years.

It gives the GOP a major power center in Washington and a lead role in confirming the next president’s Cabinet, as well as any Supreme Court justices if there are vacancies.

Control over the House of Representatives is still up for grabs, with over 100 races yet to be called.

Furious Democrats say it’s Joe Biden and Tim Walz’s fault Kamala Harris lost

Tesla shares soar 13 percent after Trump win

Shares of Tesla soared Wednesday following an election that will send Donald Trump back to the White House, an outcome that had been strongly bacled by CEO Elon Musk in the closing months of the race.

Tesla stands to make significant gains under a Trump administration with the threat of diminished subsidies for alternative energy and electric vehicles doing the most harm to smaller competitors.

Tesla dominates sales of electric vehicles in the U.S, with 48.9% in market share through the middle of 2024, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Tesla shares jumped 13 percent Wednesday while shares of rival electric vehicle makers tumbled.

What happens now that Trump has been declared president-elect?

Trump’s team is pledging that the second won’t look much like the first one Trump established after his 2016 victory.

The president-elect now has a 75-day transition period to build out his team before Inauguration Day arrives on January 20.

One top item on the to-do list: filling around 4,000 government positions with political appointees, people specifically tapped for their jobs by Trump’s team.

That includes everyone from the secretary of state and other heads of Cabinet departments to those selected to serve part-time on boards and commissions. Around 1,200 of those presidential appointments require Senate confirmation, which should be easier with the senate now shifting to GOP control.

Kamala Harris under fire for delaying concession speech as both she and Biden remain silent on Trump victory

Jon Michael Raasch, Political Reporter in Atlanta for DailyMail.com

Kamala Harris has yet to concede the 2024 election to Donald Trump, and the pressure on her to do so is mounting.

The Democratic nominee has not addressed the outcome of the presidential election, which the Associated Press called as a victory for Trump around 5:30 am ET on Wednesday morning.

Now the Harris campaign is announcing that Harris will deliver a speech at her alma mater Howard University in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday afternoon.

The Democrat was supposed to make a cameo at the college on Tuesday evening but opted not to leave her vice presidential residence as results came in showing Trump ahead.

President Joe Biden has been conspicuously silent after the election as well.

The sitting president was reportedly watching the results come in with family and close friends at the White House late on Tuesday evening.

But Fox News’ Peter Doocy reported around 11 pm ET that lights within the executive mansion had been slowly turning off room by room, indicating that its occupants were heading to bed before the race was called.

Republican supermajority could soon sweep Washington as House of Representatives election results trickle in

Jon Michael Raasch, Political Reporter in Atlanta for DailyMail.com

Though Republicans have been named the winners of the White House and Senate, dozens of races in the House of Representatives may take days if not weeks to call.

Donald Trump was projected as the winner of the 2024 election by the Associated Press at 5:34 am ET on Wednesday morning after the outlet declared the Republican had won the critical swing state of Wisconsin.

The GOP also gained control over the Senate after flipping multiple seats red, with some races still yet to be finalized and pick-up opportunities still on the table.

Republicans now need to maintain control over the House to have a full supermajority in Washington, D.C., which would have major consequences for Democrats.

Kari Lake’s opponent Ruben Gallego takes the lead in Arizona race

Democratic Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego, an Iraq War veteran, took an early lead over well-known former television news anchor and staunch Donald Trump ally Kari Lake in Tuesday’s election for U.S. Senate.

The race in a state with a recent history of close elections is among a handful of contests that will determine how large a Republican majority Trump will work with in the Senate when the president-elect returns to the White House next year. The GOP clinched the Senate majority Tuesday night, retaking it from Democrats who held it for four years.

In a break with tradition, Lake and the Arizona Republican Party did not hold an election night party. She posted about results in the presidential race and shared complaints from others about the pace of vote counting in Maricopa County but did not say anything about her own race.

The winner of the Senate race will replace Kyrsten Sinema, whose 2018 victory as a Democrat created a formula that the party has successfully replicated since.

Can Trump run again in 2028? The rules on the next election as he storms to victory

Trump cannot run for re-election again after being elected to two non-consecutive terms.

The US Costitution’s 22nd Amendment dicatates that presidents can only serve a total of two terms, or eight years – a precedent set by George Washington.

It reads: ‘No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.’
