Kamala Harris finally gave her concession speech after losing the 2024 Presidential Election against Donald Trump. Unlike Trump who spoke directly after securing the victory at nearly 3 a.m. Eastern Time, Kamala decided to go to bed after losing. It wasn’t until about 4 p.m. on Wednesday that Kamala finally came out and gave her speech. The reason given for Kamala going to bed is simply that she was tired.
Trump is 77 years old and had no problem appearing on stage late into the night with close to 50 other people. Her speech was not bad from the perspective of quality speech writing. Her speech was, however, physically laboring for Kamala to complete. Her facial expressions exuded a lack of sleep and a general stressed-out disposition. And it is probably safe to assume that she would have looked worse had she come out to “Kamala HQ” at Howard University immediately after losing.
