Kamala Harris

And we never—you know, because we had to function.

We had a house full of people, family.

The next day, because we were going to go to Howard University's campus, my alma mater, to give a victory speech the night of the election—

I told everybody to come back the next day.

And so then I had to get ready to go and give a speech, which was a concession speech.

And actually to the point of, you know, I had to reconcile.

I would close every rally by saying when we fight, we win.

And it was not as simplistic as, well, you win some, you lose some.

And I was trying to figure out how do I, especially for all those young people, how do I help them reconcile that?

And on the way to giving the speech, I wrote into the speech, well, sometimes the fight takes a while.

So when we got to Howard, we were in the green room, and our family was there.

So this is how awful I am.

I'm looking, everybody's crying, and I just looked at them and I was like,

We are not having a pity party.

And I was just on function.

We had a trip planned to Hawaii for vacation.

for many, many months ago, and there was an emergency happening in the world, and so I couldn't go.

And we couldn't go.

And we forgot that we actually, because we had paid to rent this house.

And my team, being so great, they're like, why don't we see if we can get you to go to that house now?
