Kamala Harris's concession speech has sparked significant buzz online. While many praise her for her candor and the heartfelt emotions she conveyed, others believe she seemed relieved to be concluding this chapter.
In a highly anticipated speech that lasted less than 15 minutes, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris formally acknowledged her defeat in the presidential election to Donald Trump.
Reflecting on the intense and divisive nature of the campaign, Harris emphasized that while the election outcome is final, her commitment to the causes that drove her campaign remains unwavering, declaring:
"While I concede the election, I do not concede the fight that fuelled this campaign. Fight for freedom, opportunity, dignity for all people,"
The speech has gone viral and people are making all sorts of inferences from Kamala's speech.
Some X users noted that her speech had a different, genuine tone to it than her other campaign speeches. They said:
"Kamala Harris' concession speech was ironically the best speech I've heard her give. Much different tone. Genuine passion that wasn't seen on the campaign trail."
"This was Kamala’s ultimate mistake: She wasn’t being REAL until her last speech. She stuck to the script & she never showed her true self. That’s why Joe Rogan said he wanted to interview her to get to know the real Kamala Harris. She should’ve spoke her mind like Trump."
Other users echoed the fact that they thought she looked relieved. The comments read:
"I think she's relieved"
"Just watched Kamala’s concession speech. That was EASILY her best speech ever. You could tell the pressure was off. Maybe even relief. But if she had been this comfortable and even confident she may have had a chance. But she wouldn’t be Kamala Harris anyway. So LOL."
"She’s happy it’s over."
"I have a feeling she didn't really want to be President and have the responsibility but was pushed into it. Now the pressure is off so she was able to speak."
What else did Kamla Harris say in her speech?
In her speech, Kamala Harris expressed pride in the campaign she led, emphasizing its focus on unity, community-building, and shared values. She said:
"I am so proud of the race we ran and the way we ran it. Over the 107 days of this campaign, we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions, bringing people together from every walk of life and background, united by love of country, with enthusiasm and joy in our fight for America’s future and we did it with the knowledge that we all have so much more in common than what separates us."
She ended the speech with uplifting words for her supporters:
"I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time, but for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here’s the thing, America: if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant, billion of stars."
