Harris concedes presidential election but not 'the fight that fueled this campaign'

Vice President Kamala Harris said her heart is "full of resolve" after losing the presidential election to former President Donald Trump.

"My heart is full today -- full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve," Harris said Wednesday at her alma mater, Howard University, in Washington, D.C.

"The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for. But ... the light of America's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up," Harris said.

Harris said she told Trump on the phone Wednesday that she'll help with a peaceful transfer of power, which got a cheer from the crowd at Howard. "We must accept the results of this election," she said. Harris stressed, "While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign."

I know that’s not the answer but i could slap the shit out of a person who voted for Trump today and i guarantee you not feel an ounce of guilt. I’m staying home until i cool off just to make sure that doesn’t happen.

"I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign." I was hoping Joe & Kamala had an Ace up
their sleeves to keep the cry baby out of the White House, presently luring the cry baby & company
into a false sense of security.

I suspect Putin will demand help from TSF for his war against Ukraine. first no more arms or ammunition
going to Ukraine instead they go to Russia, next he'll want to send our troops over there to help Russia
and if our Generals refuse he'll fire them and get somebody like Michael Flynn put in charge who'll
gladly help Putin.
