Harris concedes presidential race to Trump after 107-day campaign

Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the presidential race to former President Donald Trump on November 6, 2024, after a 107-day campaign that began with high hopes. Harris acknowledged the disappointing outcome at a watch party at Howard University. Harris's campaign faced challenges, including a lack of cohesion with staff from President Biden's team and difficulty connecting with key voter groups. Despite initial energy, her campaign struggled to maintain momentum and failed to effectively distance herself from Biden's policies. Turnout among Black and young voters was lower than expected, while Trump gained support from Latino and Asian voters. Delayed outreach efforts to Black communities contributed to these challenges, impacting Harris's ability to revive the coalition that had previously supported President Obama.
