Miles de personas se reunieron en el campus de la Universidad Howard durante el evento en el que se siguió en vivo los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales y en el que sus simpatizantes creían que iba a terminar con la victoria de la demócrata.
Sin embargo, el ánimo de celebración se atenuó cuando llegaron los resultados que mostraban al ahora presidente electo Donald Trump ganando en estados claves en disputa.
Finalmente, la multitud disminuyó después de que el codirector de la campaña de Harris, Cedric Richmond, agradeciera a los simpatizantes de la candidata demócrata y les informara que Harris no iba a hablar sino que se dirigiría a sus partidarios el miércoles 6 de noviembre.
Las siguientes fotografías captaron no solo reacciones de los partidarios de Harris cuando se conocieron los resultados a última hora sino como poco a poco iban abandonando el lugar.
