Vice President-elect Kamala Harris heralded the 2020 elections as a victory for Americans and a clear sign Americans were ready for change after four years of President Donald Trump.
She also reflected on the historic nature of the election and her upcoming role as the first woman, and woman of color, to serve as the vice president of the United States.
“You delivered a clear message: you chose hope and unity, decency and science, and yes, truth. You chose Joe Biden,” she said. “While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last. … Every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.”
“Dream with ambition,” she added. “Lead with conviction, and see yourself in a way that others may not.”
