Harris will not speak from Howard University as planned and is calling it an evening

Vice President Kamala Harris will not speak to supporters of her alma mat in Washington, D.C., tonight as previously planned.

Cedric Richmond, co-chair of the Harris campaign, briefly addressed attendees at Howard University in the early morning hours Wednesday, informing them that Harris would address voters at the university on Wednesday. It was not made clear exactly when that would happen.

Despite the bleak outlook for Democrats at that point in the evening, Richmond told those gathered at Howard that there were “still votes to be counted.”

“We still have states that haven’t been called yet,” Richmond added. “We will continue to fight overnight to ensure that every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken.”

Before Richmond spoke and informed the crowd that Harris would not be speaking as originally planned, videos began circulating online showing those gathered at Howard leaving the premises as the race’s momentum appeared to shift in Republicans’ favor hit.

Richmond’s indication that Harris would call it a night earlier came about an hour before the race for President-elect Donald Trump was set to take place. Republicans also took back control of the Senate early Tuesday night, and it still remains possible that the GOP will gain a supermajority with enough victories in the House of Representatives.
