Kamala Harris Delays Election Night Speech as Votes Are Still Counted
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.
U.S. broadcasters had called North Carolina and Georgia, two crucial battleground states, in favour of the Republican candidate.
Just days after returning to Turkey, Victor Osimhen has been caught up in an unexpected controversy. The Bulut Mosque in Konya was briefly shown on Google Maps as “Victor Osimhen Mosque,” a change that angered many worshippers.
One local, Zeki Yaylacı, called it disrespectful, saying it was wrong to name a mosque after a non-Muslim and that it insulted both the Muslim community and their places of worship. There is no indication that Osimhen had any involvement in the incident, which appears to have been caused by inaccurate user edits on Google Maps.
Nigerian politician and former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reacted to the viral video of the passenger incident on Ibom Airline.
While apologizing to the airline staff who were assaulted by the passenger, Miss Comfort Emmanson, he criticized the manner in which she was treated.
It can be noted that after Miss Emmanson assaulted the staff and another passenger, she was dragged and stripped in public before being taken to court.
Peter Obi stated that the way she was handled was wrong, linking it to double standards in the justice system. He expressed that the country needs fairness and recalled the airline situation involving KWAM 1, noting that nothing happened to him in comparison to Miss Emmanson, who was stripped and taken to court.
“We must build a country where justice is fair, equal, and not selective, especially against women who are seen to be weaker.”
Awka Ibom Airline makes headlines as a viral clip of a passenger being kicked out of the plane by staff stirs reactions.
This situation occurred on the 10th of August, 2025, and was addressed by the airline in a statement, which revealed that the passenger had refused to switch off her phone for air safety reasons.
The statement explained that the phone was later switched off by another passenger after she refused; however, the matter escalated when the passenger attacked the person who switched off her phone. While this occurred, an air hostess intervened to end the fight but was also slapped, causing the situation to escalate even further.
