According to BlockBeats, on November 6, Cedric Richmond, co-chair of Harris's campaign, told the gathered audience at the Democratic candidate election night party originally scheduled at Howard University that the Vice President would not speak tonight, but the campaign team would not give up the fight against Trump.
"We still have ballots to count. There are still some states that have not reported results. We will continue to work through the night to ensure every ballot is counted and that everyone has a voice," Richmond said. "So you won't hear from the Vice President tonight, but you will hear her voice tomorrow."
Richmond stated that Harris would return to Howard "not only to speak to her supporters but to address the nation." This event was initially held as a celebration of Harris's election and the prospects of the new president, but as the path to victory for the Democrats grew narrower, the atmosphere began to deteriorate.
