The atmosphere at Howard University, where Kamala Harris’ campaign is hosting an Election Night celebration, is filled with joy and excitement. Supporters are seen dancing, cheering, and reveling in the festive mood. Meanwhile, just a short distance away in downtown Washington D.C., Harris’ top donors are gathered at the Conrad Hotel for a private event. Attendees at this gathering have noted a more subdued atmosphere, with a growing sense of concern over Donald Trump’s strong showing in Virginia and other states.
Throughout the campaign, the Harris team had emphasized that Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin were crucial states for securing the 270 electoral votes needed to win the election. However, as the results start to come in, there is a sense of unease among loyalists who had hoped for a clean sweep of all battleground states.
