Biden in a written statement: "What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire."

"To everyone who is watching, do not despair," Harris tells her supporters. "This is not a time to throw up our hands but to roll up our sleeves."

Harris: "In our nation we owe loyalty not to a president or a party but to the Constitution ... And loyalty to our conscience and to our God. My allegiance to all 3 is why I am here to say that while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign"

"The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for," Harris says as she concedes. "But hear me when I say the light of America's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting."

The White House confirms Harris’ concession speech plans: At 4:00 PM ET, the Vice President will deliver remarks at Howard University. The Second Gentleman will attend. These remarks will be pooled press and open to pre-credentialed media.

@michelle779 she didn't run for a full term so she'll be leaving before the other two are sworn in

@jeneps It’s going to be three with LaPhonza Butler already there

For the first time ever, two Black women will serve in the US Senate at the same time and they are just the third and fourth Black women to win Senate elections bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

“We’ve been saying for weeks that this race might not be called tonight,” JOD said. “It takes time for all the votes to be counted-&all the votes will be counted. That’s how our system works. What we do know is this race is not going to come into focus until the early morning…”

New @jomalleydillon to Harris staff: “As we have known all along, this is a razor thin race” & “we have known all along that our clearest path to 270 electoral votes lies through the Blue Wall states. And we feel good about what we’re seeing.” Tells them to get some rest tonight.

Some signs of hope Harris camp sees: -Slightly higher than expected support in EV from suburban GA. Outperforming '20 in Douglas, Rockdale counties. No rural surge for Trump. -Long lines remain at 2 UNC campuses & favorable addtl late-arriving mail ballots -Long lines at UMich

"Tonight, then, we finish as we started, with optimism, with energy, with joy, knowing that we the people have the power to shape our future and that we can confront any challenge we face when we do it together," Kamala Harris says at the final rally of her 107-day campaign

"It's good to be back in the City of Brotherly Love, where the foundation of our democracy was forged, & here at these famous steps, a tribute to those who start as the underdog & climb to victory," Harris says at the start of the final speech of her campaign, on Rocky steps

More from Harris senior adviser Plouffe on a possible “hidden positive surprise” for his candidate: “The reason there could be Harris vote that we’re not picking up in our data or the public polls are — Ann Selzer’s poll would of course pick up something that’s an earthquake in terms of movement. But we do think it’s possible, you know, that we could do a point better or maybe even two points with women — as David Axelrod said in an earlier segment — if women comprise a slightly higher part of the electorate than they’ve previously. You put those two things together, that’s how there could be a real upside surprise for Kamala Harris. But, again, in our own work, we are being very conservative,” expecting high Trump turnout and mobilizing accordingly.

History suggests a possible “hidden positive surprise,” @davidplouffe said on CNN. “In my personal view, there’s a better chance that we’re surprised tomorrow by Kamala Harris doing better—particularly w women voters—than what we saw in ’16 & ’20 where Trump overperformed” data.

On CNN, @davidplouffe said that after reviewing latest EV data, ED projections & how undecideds are breaking, “we have a credible pathway to all 7 states" to go for Harris, "but we think they’re all going to be close.” You think you could win all 7? “Yes," Plouffe said.

VP Harris’ order at Old San Juan Cafe: sweet plantains, yellow rice, cassava and pernil codilto.

"From the very start of our campaign, this has not been about a fight that is against something," Harris said in Allentown. "This is about a fight that is for something. This is for something. This is about a future with freedom and opportunity and dignity for all Americans."

Voters who have made up their minds in the last two weeks of the campaign are “breaking to the vice president,” @jomalleydillon tells reporters. And/but “we believe this race is going to be incredibly close we may not know the results of this election for several days.”

“Voters select the president, not Donald Trump,” Harris campaign lawyer Dana Remus just said on a press call. “There are no lawful ways to overturn an election.”

@ByronTau Congrats! Looking forward to reading your work
