• Harris’ message to supporters: Vice President Kamala Harris urged supporters to accept the 2024 presidential election results and committed to a peaceful transfer of power following Donald Trump’s win. In a concession speech Wednesday, Harris also promised to keep up the “fight that fueled this campaign.”
• Trump’s win: The president-elect will return for a second term in a historic comeback after losing in 2020, attempting to overturn the results and facing a criminal conviction. In a speech, Trump vowed to “heal” the nation, fix the border and deliver a strong economy. He also celebrated the GOP taking the Senate, while the House is still up for grabs.
• Upcoming transition: Trump is ready to move on his agenda and could announce staff picks within days, sources say, as his allies are already jockeying for high-powered spots in his administration. As Trump prepares his next steps, CNN also reported that the special counsel is in talks with the DOJ about ending the federal cases against him.
