The campaign team for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has announced that the vice president will not be addressing her supporters on election night as her path to the White House appears to be narrowing.

Cedric Richmond, a co-chair of Harris’ campaign, spoke to the press in the early hours of Wednesday, acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding the election results.

“We still have votes to count, and several states have not been called yet,” Richmond said.

He emphasized that the campaign would continue working through the night to ensure every vote is counted and every voice is heard.

“You won’t hear from the vice president tonight, but she will speak to you tomorrow,” he added, reinforcing the campaign’s commitment to seeing the process through.

Earlier that day, as voting wrapped up across the country, Harris shared her plans for election night.

She mentioned having dinner with her family at her Washington, D.C., residence before attending an election watch party at Howard University, the historically black college where she earned her undergraduate degree.

Harris, who has always been vocal about the importance of her alma mater, would have felt a strong connection to the university community as they awaited the results.

Howard University, renowned for its rich history and its role in shaping the careers of many influential African American leaders, holds a special place in Harris’ heart.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the political spectrum, former U.S. President Donald Trump seemed to be gaining ground in his bid to return to the White House.

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.

According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.

The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
