'Do not despair,' Harris tells supporters as she concedes the election

We're going to keep our promises,

he said but gave little detail of how he might achieve his motto

A Black girl will save the world."

Bruce said

I'm here today to show love and respect for her ... for what she's done,

said Donna Bruce, 72

Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn't mean we won't win,

she said

I just hope he'll make the price of groceries and gas more reasonable,

Archuleta told AFP

I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time,

she said, her voice hoarse as she made her first public remarks since Trump's surprisingly heavy victory

It's a political victory that our country has never seen before,

Trump said

As an immigrant myself [from Belize], I feel bad about the people who are going to be left behind,

McDougall said

It revealed to me the heart of us as a nation,

47-year-old Janeen Davis, a county government employee said

My personal opinion is because of how the transition happened last election,

Davis said

A divided nation can’t stand, so it’s going to make us more susceptible to outside threats.”

Since exit polls revealed how divided the electorate is, Davis warned

The base was not shored up before moving to swing voters, which were the Republicans who were never Trumpers.”

Brown also called into question the Democratic party’s strategy, saying

At this time, it’s necessary that people not become complacent,

she added

Black women in particular did a great job. I have no regrets or hard feelings about the way that Black women showed up,

she said

The light of the American promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up.”

The vice president’s voice appeared to crack as she told a crowd at Howard University in Washington, DC

Earlier today, I spoke with President Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I told him that we will help him and his team with that transition, and we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power."

She continued

You won't hear from the vice president tonight,

said Richmond

My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power,

the Trump video continued

While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign,

she told supporters at her alma mater, Howard University, a historically black college

We must accept the results of this election and engage in a peaceful exchange of power,

Harris said
