Failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has pulled out of her planned speech at Howard University after getting crushed by President-Elect Donald Trump.
Harris had planned to speak to supporters tonight from her alma mater in Washington, D.C.
However, the Harris supporters who had gathered at the college were sent home early.
As Slay News reported earlier, Trump was declared the 2024 victor after winning three key states.
With several states still to call, Trump is projected to be on track for a historic landslide win.
Harris campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond briefly addressed those gathered at Howard University in the early
morning hours of Wednesday.
Richmond told the crowd that Harris would address voters at the university on Wednesday.
It was not made clear when exactly that would occur.
Despite the bleak outlook for Democrats at that moment of the night, Richmond gave false hope to those gathered at Howard, insisting that there were “still votes to be counted.”
“We still have states that have not been called yet,” Richmond added.
“We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken.”

Before Richmond spoke and informed the crowd Harris would not be speaking as originally planned, videos began circulating online showing those gathered at Howard vacating the premises as the race’s momentum appeared to swing in favor of Republicans.

Richmond’s indication that Harris would be calling it a night early came roughly an hour before the race was called for President-elect Trump.
Republicans also took back control of the Senate early in the night Tuesday.
It still remains possible for the GOP to win a supermajority with enough victories in the House of Representatives.
Trump gave a victory speech to voters tonight from the Palm Beach County Convention Center as planned.
As Slay News reported, Trump was joined on stage by Vice President-Elect JD Vance.
Vance celebrated the victory as “the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.”
He pays tribute to Trump, thanking him for the opportunity to be his running mate, before turning to the crowd.
“I think that we just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America,” he says, to huge cheers.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we’re never going to stop fighting for you, for your dreams, for the future of your children.
“And after the greatest political comeback in American history, we’re going to lead the greatest economic comeback in American history – under Donald Trump’s leadership.”
