Harris prepares to call Trump to concede her defeat – NBC News

US presidential candidate Kamala Harris is preparing to call Donald Trump to concede her defeat, and incumbent President Joe Biden is also planning a call to the Republican.

As reported by NBC News, Harris is expected to call Trump on 6 November to acknowledge her loss in the election, two of her aides said. They added that Harris will deliver a concession speech, though the timing is not yet known. The Democratic candidate is currently working on her speech, one of her aides confirmed.

President Joe Biden also intends to call Trump on 6 November and has planned a public speech addressing the election results, an unnamed White House official stated. The timing of Biden’s call and speech remains unknown.

As a White House representative said, Biden’s approach to Trump’s victory will involve actions that Trump did not take after Biden’s 2020 win. Biden aims to call the Republican to congratulate him, invite him to the White House, and attend his inauguration.

The White House had previously announced that Biden would attend Trump’s inauguration in case of his victory.

Trump is leading not only in the Electoral College count but also in the popular vote.
