Vice President Kamala Harris’ election night tears created déjà vu for some Americans.

Harris failed to defeat President-elect Trump in the 2024 election, when the vice president became the second Democratic candidate in recent years to disappoint supporters expecting to attend a historic victory celebration.

CNN’s election panel began to realize the race was over when Cedric Richmond, co-chair of Harris’ campaign, announced to those gathered at Howard University that Harris would not speak to supporters on election night. His comments echoed 2016, when John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, spoke briefly to a somber crowd before announcing she would be a no-show.

“That’s not the sound of a large crowd, that’s not a party atmosphere,” CNN’s Audie Cornish said before Dana Bash bluntly compared it to the scene of Clinton’s memorable 2016 Javits Center event.

Clinton wanted to break the proverbial “glass ceiling,” so she planned her election party in a building with a real glass ceiling. But instead of a celebration, the event turned into a gathering of teary-eyed liberals.

Eight years later, it was much the same in Washington, D.C., when Harris failed to address supporters of her would-be alma mater victory party.

HARRIS WILL NOT SPEAK FROM HOWARD UNIVERSITY ON ELECTION NIGHT AS PLANNED

The satirical Babylon Bee published a story with the headline: “Flash Flood Warnings Issued as Liberal Tears Continue to Drench the Nation.”

“At the time of publication, amid media rumors that Hillary Clinton is considering a new presidential run for the White House while Chelsea Clinton is being groomed for a future in politics, the NWS spokesperson predicted that there is ‘no end in sight’ to the downpours,” the Babylon Bee joked. .

One Trump supporter posted images of the somber Clinton event.

Outside the Harris victory party, which never turned festive, a disappointed attendee left an American flag on the ground as they went home.

Harris plans to finally address the nation at Howard University on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. A senior aide to Harris told Fox News that the vice president called Trump on Wednesday to congratulate him on winning the 2024 race, ahead of her speech.
