On that day, foreign media including The New York Times (NYT) reported this citing a Harris campaign official. The Harris campaign is currently sending messages to supporters in Washington, expressing deep gratitude and requesting attendance at the event that afternoon.

Vice President Harris is also reported to have called former President Trump, the president-elect, to congratulate him and acknowledge her election defeat.

The 47th U.S. presidential election ended in a landslide victory for former President Trump, breaking expectations that it would be a neck-and-neck race. As of 1:21 PM Eastern Time on the 6th, former President Trump secured 292 electoral votes, far ahead of Vice President Harris's 224. Trump had early victories in the southern Sun Belt states of Georgia and North Carolina among the seven battleground states, and also took Pennsylvania, the largest battleground, securing the majority 'magic number' of 270 out of 538 electoral votes.
