A Democrat extended congratulations to a Republican during a phone conversation, emphasizing the significance of a peaceful transfer of power, according to an aide.

 

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has urged her opponent, Republican Donald Trump, to acknowledge his defeat in the United States presidential election, according to a senior aide.

 

In a phone call on Wednesday, Harris extended her congratulations to Trump and emphasized the significance of a peaceful transfer of power, as well as the responsibility of being a president for all citizens, according to her aide.

 

Harris is scheduled to give a speech in Washington, DC later on Wednesday, marking her first public address following her anticipated defeat to Trump in the November 5 election.

 

She was scheduled to speak to the large gathering of supporters at her alma mater, Howard University, last night. However, late in the evening, her campaign director informed the emotional crowd waiting outside that she would address them the following day, once more results were available.

 

Trump, despite being convicted of felony charges, has successfully surpassed the 270 Electoral-vote mark necessary to secure the presidency.

Harris, aged 60, assumed leadership of the campaign following President Joe Biden's withdrawal, which came after a poor performance in a presidential debate against Trump and persistent worries regarding his capacity to fulfill his duties. Harris, aged 60, assumed control of the campaign following President Joe Biden's withdrawal after a challenging presidential debate against Trump and persistent worries regarding his capacity to serve until the age of 86. On July 21, he exited the race and endorsed his vice president, allowing Harris to swiftly take charge of the campaign.

 

She was regarded by many Democrats as a possible beacon of hope for her party, being the first Black woman and the first individual of South Asian descent with the potential to occupy the Oval Office. Four years prior, she shattered similar barriers in national politics by assuming the role of Vice President under President Joe Biden.

 

Harris conducted a dynamic campaign aimed at distancing herself from Trump's bleak narrative of economic despair and the portrayal of immigrants as criminals. A central aspect of her platform was the emphasis on women's reproductive rights, which struck a chord with numerous young voters who attended her rallies in large numbers.

 

In the inaugural presidential campaign following the US Supreme Court's decision to eliminate constitutional protections for abortion rights, the Harris campaign aimed to garner increased backing from women.

 

The prevailing discontent among US voters regarding soaring inflation, rising costs of essential goods such as food and housing, and concerns about illegal immigration proved insurmountable, as indicated by exit polls.

 

 Trump's commitment to restoring a "golden age" for America led to a significant shift in key battleground states away from the Democratic Party. 

 

He is set to assume office on January 20, 2025, marking his return as the 47th president of the United States, four years after he declined to acknowledge his defeat to Biden.

 

 As the current vice president, Harris is anticipated to preside over the ceremonial certification of Trump's victory in Congress. Biden has also confirmed his attendance at the inauguration, in contrast to Trump, who did not attend the 2021 ceremony for his successor.
