Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris conceded the 2024 presidential election to Republican Donald Trump on Wednesday in a speech at her alma mater, Howard University.

"To the young people who are watching it is okay to feel sad and disappointed. But please know it's going to be okay," she said.

Harris, once viewed as a potential saviour for the Democratic Party after Joe Biden's reelection campaign stalled, is reckoning with a profound rejection by American voters in this year's presidential election.

A senior adviser to the vice president says Harris called Trump on Wednesday afternoon to concede the election and congratulate him on his victory.

"I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time. But for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case," Harris told the crowd on Wednesday.

Harris trailed Trump in every battleground state, a profound rejection by American voters.
