Kamala Harris finally concedes election to Donald Trump as she calls to congratulate him

Kamala Harris has finally phoned Donald Trump to concede the US presidential election hours after her devastating defeat was confirmed.

During their conversation, the vice president discussed with Trump the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans, a senior Harris aide said, confirming that Harris will deliver remarks in Washington later Wednesday.

‘She discussed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans,’ a senior Harris aide said. 

Trump now has 292 electoral votes to Harris’ 224. It takes 270 to win the presidency. 

Trump is the first president in over 130 years and only the second in history to win a non-consecutive second term. 

Exit polls show his victory came after he made gains with nearly every voting bloc he lost in the 2020 election and put together a coalition of multi-ethnic working-class voters.
