Even though she conceded the result, the Democrat refused to concede "the fight for freedom, opportunity, justice and dignity of all people" that fueled her roughly 13-week campaign. Biden, in turn, issued a statement in which he spared no praise for the vice president, but will address the nation this Thursday.
I will never give up fighting for a future in which Americans can follow their dreams, ambitions and aspirations." This was one of the promises of American Vice President Kamala Harris, who conceded victory to Republican Donald Trump in Tuesday's presidential elections , late last night. The fight takes a while."
"For young people watching, it's normal to feel sad and disappointed. During the campaign, I often said, 'When we fight, we win'. Sometimes the fight takes some time, which doesn't mean we don't win. Most The important thing is: never stop trying to make the world a better place," he said, in front of the crowd that gathered at Howard University in Washington DC, after Trump surpassed the 270 votes needed to secure victory in the electoral college.
Even though she conceded the result, the Democrat refused to concede "the fight for freedom, opportunity, justice and dignity of all people" that fueled her roughly 13-week campaign.
"It's not time to give up. It's time to roll up our sleeves. It's time to organize, mobilize and stay engaged in favor of freedom, justice and the future that we all know we can build together. [...] The result of this election is not what we wanted, it is not what we fought for, but hear me when I say: the light of America's promise will always burn," he shouted.
There’s a saying that goes, ‘Only when it’s dark enough can you see the stars.’ I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time. For the sake of all of us, I hope that is not the case. But, America, if that's the case: let's fill the sky with the light of a billion bright stars."
Earlier, the official said she congratulated Trump, who promised that President Joe Biden's administration will guarantee "a peaceful transfer of power", as "we do not owe loyalty to a president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States, to our conscience and to our God."
"We will never give up the fight to protect our schools and our streets from gun violence. We will never give up the fight for the rule of law, for equal justice, and for the sacred idea that all of us, regardless of who we are or where we started, have certain fundamental rights and freedoms that must be respected and defended", he reiterated.
The head of state, who is due to go to the country at 4pm this Thursday (Lisbon time), according to information released by the Reuters agency, considered, in a statement, that the Americans saw first-hand the Kamala Harris that the leader knows and admires "deeply".

"What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire. She has been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage and character. Under extraordinary circumstances, she took control and led a historic campaign that personified what is possible when you are guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision of a nation that is freer, more just, and full of more opportunity for all Americans," he wrote.
Biden was full of praise for the vice president, who pointed out that she is "a champion for all Americans", whose story "represents the best of America's history."

"As I said before, choosing Kamala was the first decision I made when I became the candidate for president in 2020. It was the best decision I ever made. Her story represents the best of America's history. And as you made clear today, I have no doubt that she will continue to write this story. She will continue to fight with purpose, determination and joy as she puts her stamp on America's future," he said.
It is worth remembering that Trump, the former leader who was impeached twice, in addition to being convicted of dozens of crimes and accused of many others, won the votes of at least five of the seven decisive states in the race for the White House, which dictated his return to the position of head of state as the 47th president.
NBC News has already reported that the US Department of Justice is looking for ways to close the two federal cases against former President Donald Trump before the Republican's inauguration, to comply with the policy that a head of state cannot be prosecuted. It was one of the expected results with the election of the Republican, already convicted in one of the cases.
