Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed her gratitude to supporters in her first public remarks since conceding to Donald Trump. She emphasized that the fight for freedom and opportunity is ongoing.
Harris highlighted the historic amount raised for her campaign, with 8 million donors contributing an average of $56. She emphasized that their involvement can make a difference and that the fight continues.
Harris’ former running mate, Governor Tim Walz, echoed her sentiments, expressing that while there may be a sense of loss, Harris is still committed to the fight.
The campaign’s senior officials discussed their spending strategy, including reaching out to low-propensity voters and investing in swing states. They also acknowledged the need for Democrats to address the coordination between the Trump campaign and its super PACs.
Harris has kept a low profile since the election, but has attended some events and taken a vacation in Hawaii. Walz has resumed his duties as Minnesota governor and has pledged to work with those who voted for Trump.
Harris and Walz had limited interaction on the campaign trail, with their last joint rally held in late August.
