Vice-President Kamala Harris is expected to officially recognize the 2024 election TO Donald Trumpafter it was projected to become the 47th president of the US.

Trump was declared the winner early Wednesday by the Associated Press and others after surpassing the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.

Harris received at least 224 electoral votes, and the results of the swing states of Michigan, Nevada and Arizona are still outstanding. According to the White House, Harris will speak at 4 pm ET at Howard University in Washington DC, a historically black university and her alma mater.

The Harris campaign hosted an election night party on Tuesday at The Yard at Howard University, where the mood went from “celebratory to raucous” as calls for the races began to roll in, according to the Associated Press.

Harris was expected to address the party on election night, but her campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond said supporters would not hear from her until Wednesday. Multiple reports say he is expected to call Trump to acknowledge before he speaks Wednesday afternoon.

“We still have votes to count. We still have states that haven’t been called yet. We’re going to continue, overnight, to fight to make sure that every vote is counted, that every voice is spoken,” Richmond said Tuesday night before the AP call for Trump.

Harris launched his White House bid just four months ago after Pres Joe Biden he gave up the race. Her revamped campaign centered much of her message on Trump and a warning about the threat she said he posed to US democracy and abortion protections. She targeted the traditional Democratic base — African Americans, Latinos and young people — but also sought to win over disgruntled Republicans.

However, Trump managed to win both nationally and in key swing states with voters who were alarmed by the economy and prioritized more aggressive enforcement of immigration laws.

Anxiety about inflation was particularly high nationally, according to the AP VoteCast, a broad survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide.

Voters generally believed Trump would be better equipped than Harris, Biden’s current vice president, to handle the economy and jobs. The top swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan largely reflected the mood of the nation, the poll found.

The AP VoteCast poll found that Trump has garnered a small but significant share of younger voters, black voters and Hispanic voters — many of whom feel disenchanted with the economy. A majority of young black and Latino voters said the economy is not doing well, according to the poll.

Trump’s victory speech

Meanwhile, Trump appeared before a cheering crowd at his Mar-a-Lago election watch party in Florida following FOX News’ early projection of his win.

Trump, 78, will begin his second term early next year after losing his first bid for re-election Biden in 2020. It was a remarkable comeback for Trump, who refused to concede defeat four years ago and helped spark U.S. Capitol riothe was convicted of the crimes and survived two assassination attempts.

In a victory speech early Wednesday, Trump told the crowd, “Every citizen, I will fight for you, your family and your future.”

“This is truly going to be America’s golden age,” Trump said. “This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.”
