    What's the story

    Vice President Kamala Harris officially conceded the 2024 United States presidential election to President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday.

    Speaking at Howard University, her alma mater, she accepted the results' disappointment but urged supporters to stay hopeful and keep fighting for democracy.

    "The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for," Harris said during her concession speech.

    Harris emphasized the need for a peaceful transition of power and reiterated that she had spoken with Trump to offer help with the transition.

    She also spoke about unity and working together despite political differences.

    "My allegiance to all three is why I am here to say, while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign," she said.

    Not a time to throw up our hands: Harris

    Addressing young people specifically, Harris stated that the most important thing is to never give up trying to make the world a better place.

    "You have power, and don't you ever listen when anyone tells you something is impossible because it has never been done before," said Harris.

    "This is not a time to throw up our hands — this is a time to roll up our sleeves."
