Kamala Harris Cancels Election Night Speech at Howard University, Will Address Nation Tomorrow

Nov 6, 2024, 05:45 AM

Vice President Kamala Harris will not address supporters at Howard University tonight as originally planned, her campaign announced. Campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond informed the gathered crowd, saying, "You won't hear from the Vice President tonight, but you will hear from her tomorrow." He added, "We still have votes to count, we still have states that have not been called yet." As the campaign awaits additional election results, large crowds began to leave the watch party at Howard University, and the mood turned somber. Harris remained at her residence in Washington, D.C. The decision drew comparisons to the 2016 election when Hillary Clinton did not address her supporters on election night.
