Washington sources reported American Vice President Kamala harris, who lost to donald trump in the race to the white house, will soon deliver her concession speech on Wednesday. According to sources quoted by news agency, harris will make her address to the nation around 6 pm (4.30 am IST on Thursday, november 7). She is also expected to call trump to concede the presidential election, two of her aides told.
As per report a white house official told the same news network that President Joe Biden is also planning to call trump and give a public speech about the results. As donald trump scripted a historic comeback by sweeping the polls with more than 270 electoral seats, Kamala Harris’s promise of blazing a trail to become the first woman President of the US came to nought. A daughter of Black and indian immigrant parents, she was once described as a “female Obama" by a journalist a decade ago.
Moreover Harris’s defeat to trump in a closely, albeit bitterly, contested election shattered that dream. But, it seems she has infused hope in women that this door in public life is not closed to them. She has had other firsts in a solid career devoted to public service, even though she failed to score a big first in American politics and become the first woman to lead the most powerful country in the world. harris got her big chance when President Joe Biden abandoned his own bid for re-election in July following his poor performance in a nationally televised debate with Trump. He endorsed her as the Democratic Party’s nominee in the election, but it was too little, too late it seems.
