WASHINGTON, NOV 7: Harris, a senior aide said, “called President-elect Trump to congratulate him on winning the 2024 presidential election. Vice President Kamala Harris implored the audience gathered at Howard University to “fill the sky” with stars if America is headed into a dark time after she conceded the presidential election to President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday.

Paraphrasing an old “adage,” Harris told the audience: “only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.”

“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. But here’s the thing, America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars. The light of optimism, of faith, of truth and service. And may that work guide us even in the face of setbacks toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America,” Harris added.
