KAMALA HARRIS WILL not address her supporters until later today, postponing a planned post-election speech set for Tuesday night, as the race for the White House looks all but set to be declared for her opponent Donald Trump.
In an address to supporters gathered at Howard University in Washington DC last night, Harris’ campaign manager, Cedric Richmond, thanked them, but reiterated the campaign’s claim that the race was to be a tight one.
“We still have votes to be counted. We still have states that have to be called yet. We will continue overnight to make sure that every voice is counted, that every voice is heard.
“So you won’t hear from the Vice-President tonight, but you will hear from her tomorrow,” he said.
In a memo circulated to US media outlets last night, the Harris campaign said that while things were looking positive for their opponents, “we have known all along that our clearest path to 270 electoral votes lies through the Blue Wall states”, referring to the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, traditionally the Democratic Party’s strongest source of support.
However, despite the campaign’s optimism, these predictions have not borne fruit.
In our last update, Donald Trump was on the cusp of securing all the electors he needed to enter the Oval Office for his second term.
In a speech to supporters, Trump has already declared himself the 49th President of the United States, saying that his was “a movement like no one has ever seen before”.
Meanwhile, world leaders have followed suit.
Taoiseach Simon Harris congratulated Trump on his victory, saying that he looked forward to working to “deepen and strengthen the historic and unbreakable bonds between our people and our nations in the years ahead”.
Trump also received congratulations from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy, and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
The Harris campaign has not released details as to what time she will address supporters today.

She crashed pretty badly in the end. The media really did twist things, from.their narrative a kamala landslide was about to happen. How wrong.
@Basildon Joe: You forgot to include any phoney ‘I’m from Essex!’ touches. Wrong ID?
@Brendan O’Brien: you are talking this very badly, you ok hun?
@Brendan O’Brien: Butthurt Brenda LOL
@Brendan O’Brien: enough out of you sweetheart.
@Brendan O’Brien: You may find another platform to express your lefty views… We have the Journal now!
@Andrew Martin: You had the comments sections here all along.
@Brendan O’Brien: You’ve nothing constructive to add or say. Go away.
@Marvin Dollery: I’m not going anywhere. Today is a victory for fear, hatred and stupidity.
@Brendan O’Brien: It’s a victory for common sense, level-headedness, sanity and peace. Your lefty lot can go swivel LOL
@Basildon Joe: This simply isn’t true. No one was expecting or predicting a landslide. It was constantly called too close to call. Let’s not abandon facts. Yes Trump won and it’s a big day for a certain worldview but let’s wait and see what he actually does. Even the most diehard Trumpist knows that he lies on an unprecedented level in politics. Maybe all your dreams will come through. He might also be more focused on staying out of jail and crushing any kind of dissent to do anything for the little people who voted him in.
@SerotoninWars: Grassroots work needs to start now to ensure that a decent candidate will be elected next time. The Trumpists have their day of glory, but the pendulum can and must swing the other way.
@SerotoninWars: *true not through :)
@Brendan O’Brien: fair play & kudos to you for coming on here today!!!!!! The senate, the house, the presidency AND the popular vote is all RED for next 12years……… I hold no grudges or bad blood for all the personal attacks & lies about me….. There’s always seats on the peace train
@Brendan O’Brien: It’s over for all Demonrats. President Donald Trump won by a landslide, be a half-decent human being and give rightful respect to the 100′s of millions of Patriotic Americans who selflessly voted for the President of Tranquility. You present some truly abhorrent characteristics and traits. A subhuman by any standard.
@Brendan O’Brien: Yes, much work to do. It’s very bad news for people who expect a certain level of decency in their politicians, want someone who will actually care about the Palestinians and who understand how serious the climate crisis is. Maybe things will get so bad (yes even worse!) that some of the deniers will have to face reality but the signs aren’t good. We live in an era of incredible ignorance. Hunches and irrational emotions trump facts and evidence. Buckle up. Dark days ahead.
@Brendan O’Brien: 12 years of RED PEACE on the table now, VP JD Vance will be a fantastic President in 4yrs time
@Brendan O’Brien: The wokies had the last four years, but there was nothing glorious about it!
@Brendan O’Brien: Water is wet, Fire is hot, Trump won Bigly and your ma is dead. ALL FACTS. Have another breakdown.
@SerotoninWars: you don’t have to look too far to find politicians that lie,our own gombeens in government couldn’t lie straight in bed
@James Moylan: True. It’s just the message this sends with the huge amount of influence America has. It’s a victory for a very dark and dishonest worldview and and set of politics. You only have to look at some of the comments.
@Brendan O’Brien: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ’28
@SerotoninWars: little people ?
@Sheila McNulty: Yes, to the true elites and billionaires, the electorate of average normal individuals are indeed the little people. They pulled the greatest trick by convincing them that men who live in the lap of luxury with power at their fingertips are somehow the outsiders. They managed to dupe people into believing that humans who value human rights and decency in public life are somehow ‘the elite’, despite the vast majority not walking down gold staircases when they wake up each day. A con job if ever there was one.
Well, that’s one pack of left wokies gone, now for the next pack nearer home!
@Brian Hunt: People who use the term ‘left wokies’ are no different to the ‘left wokies”. Over emotional and unable to control themselves.
@Brian Hunt: I wish, but fear it unlikely, the American electorate is alot smarter than ours.
@Sun Rise: Says the South Dublin Cynic.
@Sun Rise: How do you know?
@Brian Hunt: He/it doesn’t know. They act on emotion rather than logic.
@Brian Hunt: What are we going to do for St Patrick’s day now ,an Orange man in the oval office.
You’re FIRED, pack your bags Kamala
@Paul M Doe: Intel might go bankrupt in the next 24 months. With Trump’s protectionist policies, plans to impose tariffs and opposition to our low corporate tax, and the possibility he will lower US cooperate tax futher, we may well see US some companies leave Ireland, which provide a disproportionate pportion of our tax revenue. Trump presidency doesn’t benift us, it’s a threat to jobs and our economy.
@David Jordan: Here’s the all-knowing and all-seeing Jordanite. Give it a rest, Ireland is in good hands having President Donald Trump on our side.
@Marvin Dollery: How exactly is Trump on Ireland’s side?
@Marvin Dollery: Trump is on Trump’s side, why would someone likely him, care about our economy, or Europe? He’ll benift a few billionaires. That’s why Musk backed him.
@Brendan O’Brien: For one, he resonates with level-headed Irish people who have seen the carnage that occurs by having soft lefties in positions of power. That all changes now. Join the club, you might not have a choice in the near future.
@Brendan O’Brien: you’ve obviously never played a round or two in doonbeg??????
@Marvin Dollery: So, you can’t say how Trump is ‘on Ireland’s side’, bar imaginary ‘resonance’.
If that is ‘for one’, what are the other ways?
@Brendan O’Brien: Economic boost, sensible social policies that’ll rub off here, strict border control, putting the EU in their place. There are plenty of other reasons, but the above will do you. Now off you go to pilates. You need to unwind and get used to conservative life.
@Marvin Dollery: where exactly do you think the EU’s place is?
@Marvin Dollery: None of that constitutes being ‘on Ireland’s side’, as you know very well. You think he wants to close the Mexican border for the benefit of Ireland? He couldn’t care less about Ireland apart from possible opportunities to make money.
In your excitement, you overreached and couldn’t back up your claim. You’re a bluffer.
@John Mc Avinue: Any man playing around in kids go-karts who wilfully put a photo of same as their profile pic, doesn’t understand much in the real adult world.
@Marvin Dollery: Remember Merv, it’s America first. He’ll be targeting those tens of billions of taxes that American corporations currently pay to the Irish exchequer
@David Jordan: He is the reckoning ball for our duplicity.
The senate + the house+ the presidency + the POPULAR vote……… its a BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BEGIN MAGA!!! WELL DONE AMERICA
@Frank Mc Carthy: the greatest victory of all time, winning money on it is the icing on the cake
Can not wait for the Confirmation on January the 6th. I can just magine the look on the faces of all who thought thsy could hurt President Trump. Trump is my hero
@linda o keeffe: the more guns and bullets they aimed at an innocent man, the more momentum the JUGGERNAUT of Peace got. Well done America
@Frank Mc Carthy: You seem to have turbo-boosted your IDs: must be 20 or more here now?
@Brendan O’Brien: like JD Vance, like President Trump……. one voice!!!! the multi account trolling…… honestly….. where/ what did it get ye at end of day????? A GREAT DAY for PEACE AND STABILITY
A brainless hack from day one. What an embarrassment the Demonrats are.
@Marvin Dollery: 100%
Haha. The Dems got everything they deserve. Putting a d##b individual like her forward. They reaped the seed they planted.
I hope her supporters don’t riot and loot like they did in 16
you are Fired !
ho back to your elitist studies.
She was an absolute disaster of a candidate. Now the world can move on from the war monger democrats thank goodness
@Trump24: really, did it matter a tinkers dawn who the warmongers put forward??? The momentum was all behind the JUGGERNAUT of Peace
Trump won bigly
Drill baby drill.
Now to undo all the green madness around the globe, What a great win for freedom.
@087 bed: Yes: time to destroy the planet. That’ll teach those lefties.
Lol
Trump victory shows it possible for conor “iam black from the waist down” mcgreg or not, to be president of Ireland
Bwahahahahha
Trump as 266, not 267.
Well done Trump, you’re slime, and you get to stay out of jail for 4 more years, all you have to do now is stay alive until January, so keep dodging them bullets or it will be president Vance in the white house instead.
The other side was complicit in the worst genocide since the second world war, so they got what they deserved. Hopefully Trump will play them at their own game and put some of them in prison on Trumped up charges.
You can’t feed you kids on Joy.
have your say
