Vice President Kamala Harris has called President-elect Donald Trump to concede the 2024 election, a senior Harris aide tells Scripps News.

The aide said that Harris called Trump to congratulate him on winning the 2024 presidential election and discussed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans. She is expected to deliver remarks at 4 p.m. ET.
As of early Wednesday afternoon, Scripps News and Decision Desk HQ project that Trump has garnered at least 301 Electoral College votes. Arizona is the only state that has yet to be called.
Out of seven battleground states the two campaigns fought over, Trump is projected to win at least six and could potentially win all seven if he picks up Arizona.
Harris was expected to address supporters late Tuesday night, but instead, campaign aide Cedric Richmond spoke as Trump gained a lead over Harris.
Scripps News and Decision Desk HQ projected Trump would defeat Harris in the early hours of Wednesday.
In a memo sent to campaign staff, campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon conveyed her disappointment over the election results.
“Losing is unfathomably painful,” she said. “It is hard. This will take a long time to process. But the work of protecting America from the impacts of a Trump Presidency starts now. I know the Vice President isn’t finished in this fight, and I know the very people on this email are also going to be leaders in this collective mission. View this as the beginning, not the end. It will be hard work. But as the boss says: hard work is good work. And I look forward to standing beside you.”
