She extended thanks to her relatives, campaign helpers, and a network of supporters while declaring her allegiance to the fundamental democratic rights of the American nation.
She said, “Full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve. The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for. But hear me when I say, hear me when I say, the light of America’s promise will always burn bright.”
She also expressed concern about Trump’s remarks, stating she offered her congratulations to the victor and assured him that the transition would respect him. According to Harris, it is a democratic norm to recognize election outcomes, and she particularly noted that this is one of the defining characteristics of American democracy: a peaceful transfer of power from one President to another.

A fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation — the ideals that reflect America at its best. That is a fight I will never give up.”
As she was giving her concession speech, she reiterated that her poise would not change. Speaking to the many young people in the audience, who many feel were let down in their first major election, Harris reassured them to keep up the fight for change in the face of adversity. She said, “Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn’t mean we won’t win. The important thing is don’t ever give up.”
