The political circus just hit a new low with Kamala Harris allegedly preparing to deliver her concession speech on Wednesday evening after Donald Trump decisively won the presidency once again. This triumphant return of Trump should send shivers down the spines of elitist Democrats, yet Vice President Harris is reportedly still hiding out at her Naval Observatory lair, as if she’s waiting for a press release from the Tooth Fairy.
While the clock ticks down to six p.m. ET, the anticipation is thick. As it turns out, Harris won’t even have the decency to face her supporters. Instead, her campaign co-chair had to shuffle up to the crowd to deliver the unfortunate news that Harris wouldn’t be making her appearance. The faithful attendees who gathered for what they thought would be a historic celebration are now left with a cancellation notice. It’s quite the shindig when the guest of honor pulls a Houdini act on her own supporters.

In the aftermath of this political debacle, Harris’s failure to concede by now has left many scratching their heads. The idea that she is holding back simply reeks of delusion mixed with a healthy dollop of denial. Throughout the campaign, Harris was nothing but a puppet for a corrupt Democratic machine that clearly underestimated the resilience and resolve of “normal” Americans who showed up to vote for Trump.
The irony is rich—this election season felt like a classic case of “Revenge of the Normies,” a term circulating among pundits who recognize that the average American is utterly exhausted by the far-left’s antics. Harris’s eventual public appearance could be like a poorly timed punchline with no one laughing—she might emerge to deliver a speech about unity or reconciliation, but it’ll be under the shadow of her party’s crushing defeat.
In what universe is it acceptable for a politician not to follow through on the traditional concession call? The glaring absence of common courtesy from Harris further reflects the Democrats’ disconnect from the American public. If they can’t even manage basic decorum post-defeat, it’s no wonder they keep losing ground. Harris could take a page from Trump’s playbook on graciousness—though in her case, the lessons may be a tad late to salvage any dignity left.
