US Vice-President Kamala Harris is set to call Donald Trump to concede defeat in the presidential election, according to reports. This marks a significant moment in the election process.

Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon and The Washington Post, has congratulated Trump, calling it an "extraordinary political comeback." His earlier decision to prevent the Post from endorsing a candidate sparked controversy and led to resignations.

Bezos is among the first major tech figures to congratulate Trump, joined by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
