Harris Rambles in Post-Election Loss Comments

The New York Post this week discusses Vice President Kamala Harris's first public remarks following her election loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race. Delivered via a virtual meeting with grassroots supporters, Harris acknowledged the "heavy" feelings surrounding the loss but urged supporters to remain empowered, reminding them of their continued purpose and ability to inspire.

Her comments came after a post-election vacation in Hawaii, which drew criticism, as did the messaging tone of her remarks. Critics on social media mocked the speech, labeling it as ineffective and poorly timed. The article notes that Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who also spoke during the call, did not address why their campaign—which raised over $1 billion—lost both the Electoral College and the popular vote.

The public reaction included ridicule from Republican commentators and strategists, who criticized Harris's delivery and suggested that laying low would have been a better strategy. The article highlights her choice to skip a "losers' party" at the White House, further fueling public discourse about her post-election actions. Read the article.
