Kamala Harris was a few battleground states away from being elected the nation’s first woman president, but she couldn’t overcome an unpopular incumbent president and a fed-up American electorate. Her supporters are reeling from a historic loss and a glass ceiling they feel is bolted down by centuries-old race and gender barriers.

Vice President Kamala Harris has called her election opponent, former President Donald Trump, to concede the election and congratulate him on his victory. Harris was expected to reach out to the president-elect before addressing the nation later Wednesday afternoon.
