Richmond, who took the stage at a Harris watch party at Howard University on Tuesday night, reiterated that Harris would not be speaking tonight after all.

Reports state that Harris’ watch party has gone “silent” due to the disappointing election results that keep coming in. 

According to CNN anchor Abby Phillips, who reported from the Harris headquarters watch party at Howard University, the Democrat’s team is going “silent.” 

“I think the operative word is silence,” Phillips reported. “There’s not a lot being said, because the Harris team appears to be searching for bright spots in the map, as these results very very, very slowly come in.”

She continued, stating that in the early evening, her campaign assumed a positive spin to how the night would play out, but she noted that the energy has since gone down. 

According to NPR’s Deepa Shivaram, who was also at the Harris election watch party, there “are some nerves” in the crowd and within her campaign. However, they are not counting themselves out of the race quite yet.

Shivaram also noted that the crowd’s mood shifted from celebratory to one of “intense focus.”
