Vice President Kamala Harris has conceded defeat in the U.S. presidential election to Donald Trump in a Washington speech.
Harris, who was bidding to become the first female president, told supporters that she had spoken to Trump and congratulated him.
“Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory.
“While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuelled this campaign,” she said.
Trump secured victories in the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to make good his come-back bid to the White House, U.S. broadcasters projected earlier on Wednesday. (dpa/NAN)
