Where is Kamala?

[Annabella92]

Just saw this post on X, and I tend to agree...

"Kamala lost as she campaigned - a coward who couldn't face the media, couldn't handle the pressure. Didn't even have the character required to concede on election night. Went home to sulk. The opposite of presidential material."

Really and truly was there nobody with any substance the Democrats could have put forward. What on earth did they expect. The bar was so low.

Oh she's going to be making a speech soon...

About time. The silence has been deafening

What a bitter post. I feel sorry for you.

They usually call to congratulate the winner, wonder if she has managed to do this

Well at leat she's not trying to suggest the election was rigged and starting riots....

I'm guessing she's knackered and very angry. Maybe needed some sleep a good cry and time to gather her thoughts.
She is only human.

As you’re not a fan of hers, why are you so bothered about where she is?

You understand time differences right? It was only officially called very early this morning. She's doing a speech at a time when presumably all of America can tune in.

You are being very unreasonable to post here on AIBU.

I'm wondering to see if she is getting legal advice. Or considering a challenge.

She’s at home having a mad angry cry.

Having a rest?

Maybe give her a minute to compose herself?

I thought we had these in supermarket car parks these days. Maybe she's there.

I think it's OK for her to take her time.

But I think it would have been better to make a speech sooner rather than later (get it all over and done with) then go and sleep/cry/whatever. But I expect she won't be seeking high office again, so it's no longer important to show she can walk the walk even in adversity.

On what basis?

Went home to sulk

Or went to collect herself as this is a huge (and in many people’s minds, negative) turn of political events, and what she says and does next could influence much of the coming few months. It’s not just the future, but a delicate balance between recognition that the Democrats are evidently failing the great heights of the first years that Obama was POTUS, whilst trying to be too angry with the USA’s utter heel digging when it comes to women trying to assume the top job by placing a literal convict/sexual assaulter in the position.

At least her immediate reaction wasn’t to try and cause some Mad Max dystopian fallout.

Maybe she is wisely abiding by the old adage

"Don't respond when you're angry"

I think to not address her hardworking supporters is very poor show. Even a 5 minute short speech to say that a full speech would follow.

I had hoped she would win, but very disappointed. And I know Trump was a much worse loser 4 years ago.. but two wrongs don't make a right

Agree.

Calm down, OP. It’s 1pm in Washington where she is.

There's nothing to be said really . She failed . The American people have rejected her and her party .

This. Its a sad day. Apart from him no one has won anything.

If the party speech writers hadn't done detailed scripts for what to say in just about every possible outcome, then they are failing in their role. Not good.

both presidential candidates (and anyone in a similar position for PM etc) should
have a concession speech prepared. Good for humility and should be practiced, thanking the right people and offering congratulations. I am extremely irritated that she is behaving like a bad loser. Trump is the ultimate bad loser.

Hilary Clinton’s concession speech was great - really fantastic. And God it must have hurt but it was really excellent. And it’s the sort of things that swing voters remember the next time round.

You presumably got the election result you wanted.
Surely you can wait a few more hours for Kamala's speech?
