Vice President Kamala Harris ran a 107-day campaign under extraordinarily rare circumstances after President Biden dropped out of the race.

Green, a New York Times White House correspondent, explains what her emotional and defiant concession speech means to Black women in the country.

Her loss is a big set back in development of world and of US in particular. That red man with grenade is just too dumb and dangerous..
Meagan thee stallion, and black city girls twerking on stage 😂. What are we talking about here 😅
Nothing. I thought she was Jamaican. Not “African-American”.
And you’re racist for labelling her ‘Black’.
She could not even CA in the general election. It’s the economy stupid. The inflation queen lost.
She is Indian. “She needed to introduce herself” She was the sitting vice president. What did she reaLLy do?🤣
