Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has accepted the results of the US presidential election. He said this in a speech given at Howard University in Washington on Wednesday local time. But he is also vowing to fight for the ideology that fueled his election campaign.

Most of his supporters were teary-eyed when Kamala delivered his speech at Howard University. At the time, he said in a catchy voice, "Fight for the dignity that people deserve." He pledged to continue fighting against women's rights and gun violence.

Kamala Harris said, 'I have accepted defeat in this election, but I will not give up the fight.'

Kamala also said that she called Donald Trump and congratulated him on winning the election. He also promised a peaceful transfer of power to Trump.

The US presidential election was held on November 5. According to BBC calculations, Trump has received 294 Electoral College votes so far, while Kamala has received 223. Donald Trump has been elected the 47th President of the United States by crossing the magic figure of 270 Electoral College.

Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz was also present at the event held at Howard University. At that time, he said, "The principle of democracy in the United States is that if we lose the election, we accept the result." This principle distinguishes democracy from dictatorship and autocracy. And if one wants to gain people's trust, he must be respectful of it.'
