Donald Trump Close To White House Return; Kamala Harris Cancels Howard Speech As Supporters Disperse

New Delhi: Democrat candidate, Kamala Harris had to cancel her anticipated speech at Howard University following an unfavourable election outcome. The decision was followed by the gathering of numerous supporters, faculty, and alumni leaving the venue. As the election seemed to be in favour of Donald Trump, the atmosphere at the university became sombre, disappointing many Democrats and the Harvard community.

“You won’t hear from the vice president tonight but you will hear from her tomorrow,” Cedric Richmond, Harris campaign co-chair, said in Washington.

Trump, now 78, appears poised for a return to the White House.

Several Republican supporters were seen celebrating as Donald Trump inched close to winning the US Presidential polls. Trump defied expectations and is projected to sweep 25 states, securing 247 electoral votes of the 270 needed to win. Harris clinched California, the largest prize in the Electoral College, taking her tally to 210 electoral votes.

The Republican Party has also successfully regained control of the Senate, flipping two Democratic seats, which further strengthens Trump’s political momentum.

Despite fierce campaigning, Harris is underperforming in key regions where Democrats had hoped to secure a stronger foothold. In response to these emerging results, Harris’s campaign refrained from holding a planned watch party in Washington DC.

Trump campaign spokesperson Jason Miller described the mood at his base in Florida as “positive” as results continue to favour the former president. Market reaction has also been swift, with the US dollar surging and Bitcoin reaching record highs, as investors respond to the probability of a Trump win.
