Vice President Kamala Harris addressed her supporters for the first time since her loss to Donald Trump in the presidential election.
In a Tuesday afternoon call with donors and volunteers, Harris expressed gratitude for their dedication to her campaign, despite falling short in crucial battleground states. She commended their efforts in what she described as an “unprecedented” campaign, highlighting achievements such as knocking on 19 million doors, making 215 million calls, and raising over $1.5 billion.
Harris told her supporters in the video, “The outcome of this election obviously is not what we wanted. It is not what we worked so hard for. But I am proud of the race we ran, and your role in this was critical. What we did in 107 days was unprecedented.”
She added,”I know that this is an uncertain time, I’m clear-eyed about that. I know you’re clear-eyed about it, and it feels heavy. I just have to remind you, don’t you ever let anybody take your power from you.”
Many users on X claimed Harris was drunk in the video.

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her first message to supporters three weeks after losing the presidential election to Donald Trump.
During a call with donors and volunteers Tuesday afternoon, Harris thanked her supporters for their work on her campaign despite coming up short in key battleground states in the race against Trump. She praised their work on an “unprecedented” campaign that saw volunteers knock on 19 million doors, make 215 million phone calls and raise more than $1.5 billion.
“The outcome of this election obviously is not what we wanted. It is not what we worked so hard for. But I am proud of the race we ran, and your role in this was critical. What we did in 107 days was unprecedented,” Harris said.
While she expressed gratitude to her supporters, Harris didn’t address critiques of her campaign from some Democrats that emerged following the election or weigh in on how the party should adjust moving forward. She spoke for just under 10 minutes.
