Vice President Kamala Harris addressed her supporters for the first time since conceding the election to Donald Trump three weeks ago.
In a pre-Thanksgiving message on Tuesday, Nov. 26, Harris told her supporters, “I just have to remind you, don’t you ever let anybody take your power from you.”
She continued: “You have the same power that you did before November 5th, and you have the same purpose that you did. And you have the same ability to engage and inspire. So don’t ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.”
Harris vacationed in Hawaii with her family and aides after the election. She reemerged on Tuesday night to thank her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, and her supporters.
“You have the same power that you did before November 5. And you have the same purpose that you did,” Harris said in the nearly 10-minute video.
“And you have the same ability to engage and inspire. So don’t ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.”
Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff are preparing to move out of the Naval Observatory in Washington DC that was their home for the last 4 years.
As for her next move politically, Harris is considering another run for the presidency in 2028. She is also considering running for governor of California.
“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” one former campaign aide told Politico.com. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”
