- Kamala Harris has addressed the nation for the first time since Donald Trump's US election victory.
"We must accept the results of this election," Harris told the crowd at Howard University in Washington DC, adding that while the outcome is not what she wanted, "the light of America’s promise will always burn bright".
Earlier, Harris called Trump to concede the election.

Unfortunately for her she is burdened by what has been.
You win 😂
😂😂🤣
Too soon. 😅
If her name was Calvin and white then Trump would lose
@@utubebroadcasterwhy?
That’s the best speech I’ve ever heard from her actually. 🤔
Took her long enough to write it.
It was written for her, and it’s being read to her over an earpiece.
@seesidesummerhouse6112 I think she's using the teleprompters (1 on each side). It looks like a sheet of glass on a tripod stand. Every politician uses this.
@ That would make more sense. I’ll hand it to her, she’s quite natural with it.
beautiful speech
The quality of true leadership. No disinformation, no hate spreading. Respect.
No hate spreading? Like outrageously calling hate filled slanderous lies about Trump, inc labelling Trump a fascist & his supporters 'deplorables' & 'garbage'. Peace & Love 'Democrat' style.🤮
you are delusional
You mean accepting defeat? Common sense then. Nothing extraordinary
😂😂😂😂 wake up ya sausage
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good for her on this speech, I really like her optimism for the future
Your fired
@@marri-cw6rgbot
Yea… she can be very optimistic now a real leader is taking over.
She has the courage to admit she has lost.
Happy Maga Day
Something that Trump doesn't have.
She has no choice but to admit it.
Trump never 😂😂😂. But no one stop gun culture and gun violence in America
@@Marcus.22823
Trump lost by a small margin. Harris by a landslide. Big difference.
If you want to go around unarmed in America, you can do. Most Americans know the importance and reasons for the second amendment.
It is the reflection of courage and determination.
It is the real face of democracy. Her speech shows that she is a great Lady.
At least Kamala is man enough to admit she lost, not so much with Trump. Good luck to you USA.
She said she did not concede the fight. That sounds like an insurrection..
Never knew She had Balls
@@seesidesummerhouse6112 That's not what that word means
@@casey2782 Who is the ‘fight’ against? She referred to fighting multiple times, in that she will never stop ‘fighting’, her supporters should never stop ‘fighting’… who is the fight against?
@@seesidesummerhouse6112 From the speech transcript: "...while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign-the fight: the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness, and the dignity of all people." Throughout the speech, she explicitly advocates fighting /for/ things, which - sure - implicitly advocates fighting /against/ things, but it's against disagreeable policy. It's not sinister in any way.
Unburdened by what had been!
Kindness and respect - can we please move forward with this?
Eat your loss in a platter
Hasn't that been proven a losing strategy?
Time for that fried chicken 🍗 and fries 🍟 let's get that
Nothing kind or respectful in incarcerating innocent people.She's a despicable person.
Surely you mean righteous arrogance! She concedes power but not that she is wrong. Fight she says, against who? "We have more in common than what separates us"; then why fight?
The Democrats need to drop her so hard she falls through the floor never to be seen again!
Thank God I am alive to witness this moment!!!!! 🎉❤
what a expression !i never imagined that defeat can be confessed such that .and i am surprised to se her confidence and patience.she is really a good guy.best of luck for her upcoming days
What a graceful exit. Unlike Trump who was a bitter loser in 2020.
Was he a loser? After all those dead souls voting for Biden
But a winner today - Happy MAGAday 😃
WE HAVE BEEN UNBURDENED BY WHAT HAS BEEN!
@@JamesSmith-qs4hx
Start of Sharia Law in America - the land of the unfree.
And now he is going to go after his enemies like never before.
One of the American spirits is to give one's all and accept failure. She is a true American.
Fortunately....the world has been unburdened by what could have been....
She handled it with grace. This might be the end of her career as a presidential candidate, but the idea she put forward will be there. America is a democratic country. It will always be like this, as long as people have different opinions and views. ✨💖
She never won a primary in the dnc
Also it’s a constitutional republic.
I admire your optimism but I fear under Trump it won't be democratic.
Ironically she gave her best speech only after her defeat.
We’ve gone from “lockemup” to report to your probation officer.
😂
What an inspiring leader. She did a great campaign. Great speech.
Only 52,500 views 8 hours later? For a presidential candidate doesn’t seem like many are interested in this speech
Nice speech. I applaud the one who wrote it. Her actions and what she said prior to her loss says otherwise
Thank you fpr graciously conceiving for everyone's good.. 🇺🇲
It really fulfills my soul with joy to watch and listen to this woman.
What have you done to gain the respect of people?? You talk about solving problems that you created, how can a problem solve the problem itself??
respect for a good and graceful loser! good speech ngl
Happy maga day
I don't know what Americans have in mind. But for many of us who live in other countries, we are sick and tired of the US and its wars, and that is precisely what Joe Biden did from the very beginning.
What?
Are you also sick of the Russian war in Ukraine?
О, да!!! Демократы-партия войн 💯
Putin started the war in Ukraine, Ivan
We also started the Israeli- Hamas war. There are Americans fighting right now on both sides.
I BELIEVED IN YOU NO MATTER WHAT . DONT LET ANYONE STILL YOUR DREAMS. NELSON MANDELA SPENT 27 YEARS IN PRISION....THE THE ROAD TO FREEDOM IS LONG.... PERSEVERANCE AND FAITH..GIVE UP IS NOT AN OPTION. !!!!!!🇺🇸🇮🇱
Thankfully we’ve been unburdened by what could have been.
Hopefully we’ll never hear from her again
I'm neither for her nor against her, but this is the most coherent I've heard her speak.
GREAT ghost writer(s)!
Can someone please share an example of when she hasn't spoken coherently? Then share an example of when Trump has? I keep seeing this comment and wonder what reality y'all are living in.
@kiwii829 I don't have a link to a video, but most videos of her I've seen involved her using word salads and cackling a lot. Whether those videos were doctored, I can't say.
This is actually the best speech I have heard from her...
Melania Trump makes history .... _the Third Wife, for the Second time becomes the ‘First Lady_’
😃
Smiling through gritted teeth. It actually looks painful, like some of them are going to shatter.
This lady fought for what is right … respect from Australia 🇦🇺
You are Clueless!!!
Lol.
Thank God you live in Australia
Thanks a lot for your strong speech!!
You are great speaker this is what democracy
The better person one. I’m glad it’s not you.
Just repeating words over and over why
And her arm-waving !!!!😂
What I'm waiting for is the celebrities that will leave 😂😂...
JOY DID NOT COMETH IN THE MORNING 🤣😭
Just words not worth
Well then fight! That's a promise you cannot forget because you can't look away at every defeat.
She should have been this heartfelt during the campaign, turning to the people instead of explaining principles. This time people responded to emotion not reason... next time when they experience what they voted for, they will listen to reason again.
"Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars"....Martin Luther King Jr. So now you know.
Quoting a Nignig she’s black see. Proof.
Too much duality and contrast for a peace message.
Unity & community is what true leadership looks like - a campaign well fought!
❤
I think we should drop the 'fight' and respeak it as live for freedom and justice...we shall live for the best future for all. No more fighting ❤🎉
A plan speech!!! Everyone on the other side standing with Kalma is too calm... Be papered!!
This is the beauty of democracy and this lady to concede the results that they fought for
What are you talking about ???
Sounds like she learned public speaking from Andre Curtis.
😂😂😂
When it comes to public speech among the candidates for the President I think Barack Obama was outstanding...
Going to go down in history as the worst candidate to run for us president.
Your heart is full of gratitude for the trust you placed in me. However, she could not show that gratitude the night she lost. To the many of her supporters who were out there with her, standing in the cold and in the crowd. She could not even go out and show her appreciation to them and let them go home with no dessert. Her supporters had to wait till late afternoon or should we say early evening before she even spoke. She had no appreciation at all. And for her to say, she will help give a smooth transfer. As opposed to what? Boring speech and I don't really think you thanked your supporters from your heart just empty words.
"As opposed to what?", you say? You can't be serious. 6th Jan. 2021 was real.
False platitudes don't go unnoticed.
They get no dessert? Why, because they wouldn't finish their greens (listening to her word-salad)?
We are officially unburdened by what has been. 😂
Woke, peace and love isn't what's going to save America... There now needs to be some hard thinking, deciding and doing...
War was problem for you and your team.
Gutted she lost. That's from Scotland
Eexcellent Speech...Mrs.Vice President..!! YOU teaches Mr. Trump how to accept Defeat, Not to be a bitter Loser in 2020.
She is evil b .. I do not like her speech too much blah. I am so happy President Trump is our President!
happy maga day
How come there are 10 million votes missing this year? Yeah no election rigged in 2020
Trump lost by a small margin. Harris was wiped out.
@@anttrails9554Enjoy the honeymoon period. Hope you brought the Vasline
Wow wonderful
I live under the tyrannical regime of the CCP, so I understand what freedom truly means. The Constitution, not loyalty to a leader, is the true guarantee of freedom and prosperity. If people fail to grasp this, they risk heading toward a dangerous path. Keep fighting, and protect freedom, Americans!
I'm Chinese but not living under the CCP.
Where has freedom and democracy gotten America?
I wouldn't want to live there.
China may not have the same level of free speech but under the current CCP rule the Chinese economy has grown massively and as a people we have thrived, all over the world.
I'm not promoting communism, rather I do not believe in the American brand of democracy.
America silencea people. America hurts its own people with drugs (see big pharma and synthetic opioids), America pushed war abroad to serve its own interests.
No country is perfect, china isn't, but most certainly America isn't either.
I'm glad I'm in Australia.
No you don't because youtube is banned in China.
@@mrtran3034 Actually, I do live here, but I use proxy tools to stay connected with the Free World. Trust me, allowing any leader to gain unchecked power can seriously threaten liberty.
@@-lb1cjsure mate
Kamala, know that we support you with love here in Canada . 💙💙We so hoped for you to win and you WILL!!! You and my friends in the USA WILL persevere. "Lift people up", "Fight for justice" so true .💙💙💙
That smile! 😊 Spoke well. Acted well. Represented democracy well. Well-done, Kamala. But my vote was for Trump.
Acted well! Agree with you on that one, as all she does is put on a phony act every time she appears. Pathetic.
@@ginashaw7769 Its called dignity, as a Trump fan you have probably never seen it
😂
Thanks for the promise to work and support president Elect.
It was God's Divine will
I wish you had such positivity from day one
Wasn't what the minority voted for 😊
who? She identify as a black indian
@geoms6263 she can identify as whatever she wants. She said we voted for her i said yes the minority did that's why she didn't win..
@@geoms6263 see what Donald Trump gives you during 4 years 😅
@@Elaine2804. a lot of white people, american people, people from the "majority" voted for her lmfao
@@SarLover-t5i i don't live usa. It was a right choice. But you entitled to your opinion same as me.
Appreciated
Now was she including all the 'Deplorables" and the "Garbage" in her gracious concession speech.
'garbage' was a MAGA term, kremlin boys want to pin it on real Americans.. Always trying to divide, always driving that wedge
Rejected from Americans and the rest of the world. Thank god for Trump.
We actually DON'T want your help, AMERICANS have had enough of Democrat "help". We can't afford it.
Our fight never end. We are prepared to continue our fight for freedom 💪🏾.
“We’re so proud” translates to “I’m so pissed off at you all right now”
She's not pissed at them - she's pissed at those who didn't vote for her. The fools voting for Trump, the lazy who couldn't be bothered to vote.
YOU're such a person.
Russians need to pay more attention in their English classes.
😆 🤣
Hello Kamala Harris.i'm writing to you from Azerbaijan and I so sorry you couldn't to win.but i believe you will be a president as soon as possible. .ple reply to me.....by Aynur😢
Madam Harris, you hare filled with positive out look.for your supporter and for the country. May God bless you.
Hello dear ❤❤❤🌹
May American unify now under the power, love and righteousness of God.
Beautiful speech!!! She's magnificent. she smiles and waving her supporters beautifully. She's so brave and courage. very mature, very professional, very positive state of mind, great attitude, acceptance the loss... love her as a beautiful human being, beautiful soul, beautiful heart.. yes, we'll never give up. yes, we'll fight hard a good fight for our rights and democracy... 💙💙💙🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟💙💙💙💙 We love you beautiful blue love!! 💙💙💙💙💙🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
She said the word "Respect" with bitter and vile vehemence. "Positive" is not what I saw.
What a crook of crap.
That all means nothing when people can’t afford to fuel their car while illegal immigrants kill and rape people.
She is like mouth of Sauron.
Sauron created jobs to be fair. 😂
What happened to ‘he’s the next Hitler’
It’s not appropriate for the concession speech. But she still knows it’s true, and so do those of us who haven’t fallen to his cult.
@@mildhoof I'm a California Dem who voted for Trump, and have an aversion to "Cults", we have one here called "Woke", and if you speak heresy you are excommunicated.
He's talked about "the enemy from within", "vermin", locking up innocent political opponents...
Yes, Trump has used Nazi rhetoric and quotes, using Nazi strategy of bombarding people with so many lies that they stop caring whether statements are true.
Whether you compare Trump to Hitler or another dictator, the fact remains that he sows hate and lies almost every sentence.
What Kamala shows here is that she has dignity and that she will not stoop to his level.
He still is, but the people voted for him... so what can she do? the people chose an autocratic lunatic cult leader. Now they'll suffer for it
@@tuanoful Believing he's AH is why he won. We know he is not. What will they run on next time?
Cause all of the stars Are fading away Just try not to worry You'll see them someday Take what you need And be on your way And stop crying your heart out.💔💔
Why am I crying. She speaks with true heart and real emotions and certainly with gratitude❤️
Everything about this empty pantsuit is contrived and rehearsed. 14million fewer votes than Biden.
There's devil behind that smile. Look at the world, deaths, wars and destruction everywhere because of Biden Harris administration
What’s up with both parties repeating this word “fight”? Even post voting 😬 asking for myself iykyk
It stems from religions and the belief in suffering and “ no pain, no gain”. Everybody wants to fight hard to “ make” peace. It’s a fundamental programming that starts in childhood. Fortunately, new generations changing it.
We believe in you and love you, Harris. ❤
Kamala was so beautiful when she came in as vice president
Now she looks tired and old, perhaps she had a better life before all this presidential confusion. A great and graceful woman she is... she has my respect
Her liver is full today. Full of box wine.
God bless America
So sad we couldn't see a woman president in 2024, perhaps sometime in a future. Congratulations to President Trump for his historic win, and peace be with all of you regardless of political affiliation!
LOL YOU MAD ASF CRYING WITH A HAPPY FACE MASK ON
why does it matter what the presidents gender is? surely their policies and leadership qualities should be more important? we should not elect the leader of the free world based on what genitals they have.
Exactly
She was the wrong choice for a women to represent america.
@@emansfvera If it was a trans woman vs normal, they would vote for the trans just because they believe biological women should behave, not lead.
America doesn't need love! Mis haris, it needs a strong man beyond it
Americans finally fixed it 😊
Huh?
I'm sure that Trump will try his best to fix the trashed healthcare system, massive wealth disparity, discrimination on the basis of sex/race, and erosion of democracy. Right after he's finished with another round of golf.
This past 4 years has been embarrassing. We need to come together regardless of who wins. If we can't do that we will never last. As well, if we cannot we should stop calling our country "free".
I wish you will come back in next election please
Better luck next time!
America dodged a bullet with her
I want to be one of those million stars that shined so brightly and thus, provide the "light" for the primary school class she was addressing.
After the resounding defeat ! 😂😂😂
Looks like "the guys at the wrong rally" are having the last laugh, Kamala! 😂🎉
People have voted and made their choice, and you are here singing, not what we voted for, does not click.
As a Democrat, she can just IDENTIFY as a world leader.
That sounds like something Kamala would say, what does it even mean?
@@BMack-p9s To be unburdened by what has been...
@@BMack-p9s She thinks she just fell out of a Coconut Tree
She didn't campaign hard enough. She campaigned a third less than Obama.
great speech
We never felt like we entered the dark tunnel but the vice versa
The first time without a teleprompter. 😮
It’s in front of her - likely on level with the camera
Remember, With the light of a brilliant brilliant billion of stars.
Kudos to Kamala Harris for standing Trump. Even men can't stand him. God bless America. I love American democracy. May all the world emulate America and Americans.
A guy from Australia here, I think it'd be best if the rest of the world didn't emulate America and Americans as a large proportion of Americans showed their true face to the world through these elections where a rapist and a convicted felon with no morals whatsoever won over a well qualified prosecutor WOMAN. 😅
YOU CAN GO AND BE UNBURDENED NOW SWEET HEART 😁
