Harris, who earlier called Donald Trump to offer her congratulations on his victory, addressed her supporters on Wednesday, emphasizing, “This outcome is not what we wanted, not what we hoped for, not what we voted for. But make no mistake—America’s light will continue to shine as long as we keep pushing forward and refusing to give up.”
