Kamala Harris tells students to 'stay in the fight' after the election
Vice President Kamala Harris is urging anyone disappointed over her loss in last month's election to “stay in the fight” as Donald Trump prepares to take office
WASHINGTON (AP) — Kamala Harris on Tuesday urged anyone who is disappointed by her defeat in last month's election to “stay in the fight” as Donald Trump prepares to take office, hinting that she won't be stepping off the political stage anytime soon.
The vice president's remarks to students in the Maryland Corps service year program were her most extensive since her concession speech. She did not disclose her own plans for after her term ends, but she spoke about “our shared commitment to the work ahead.”
The speech was something of a pep talk as Trump returns to the White House and Republicans take full control of Congress, a devastating result for Democrats.
“Many people have come up to me, telling me they feel tired, maybe even resigned," Harris said. "Folks have said to me that they’re not sure whether they have the strength, much less the desire, to stay in the fight. But let me be very clear. No one can walk away. We must stay in the fight. Every one of us.”
