A-list backers were’t enough to halt Harris’s woes

MSNBC anchor Joy-Ann Reid has claimed Kamala Harris ran a “flawless campaign”, despite her resounding loss to Donald Trump.

The political commentator cited the defeated Democrats’ ability to yield celebrity endorsements with the likes of Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish backing the eventual loser.


A-list backers were’t enough to halt Harris’s woes, with the Democrat accruing just 226 Electoral College votes to Trump’s 295.

But Reid was full of praise for her campaign nonetheless.

“I think it’s important to say that anybody who has experienced the US for a long time cannot believe that it would be easy to elect a woman president, let alone a woman of colour”, she said.

“Nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was run is not true now.

“This really was a historic, flawlessly run campaign. Queen Latifah never endorses anyone, she endorsed Harris.

“She had every prominent celebrity voice. She had the Swifties and the Bee Hive. She could not have run a better campaign in that time. I still believe that to be true.”

In her first speech since losing the election, Harris vowed to keep fighting for the ideals that powered her campaign.

"While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign," she told supporters, many of them in tears, at her alma mater Howard University, a historically Black college in Washington.

The vice president appeared crestfallen as she pledged to continue fighting for women’s rights and against violence and to “fight for the dignity that all people deserve”.

She said she had called Trump, congratulated him on his triumph in Tuesday's presidential election and promised to engage in a peaceful transfer of power.

"The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say - hear me when I say: The light of America's promise will always burn bright," she said.

Harris encouraged her supporters, especially young people, not to give up even in their disappointment and said: "Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn't mean we won't win."

The vice president’s campaign was not long as she perhaps might have liked after she rose to the top of the Democrat ticket in July.

Joe Biden stepped aside after a series of gaffes led many to question whether he was capable of leading the country for another four years.

While Harris was able to bring some reinvigoration, her inability to ease voters’ concerns on immigration and the economy led to her downfall.
