Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has cancelled her scheduled election night address at Howard University. The announcement was made in the early hours of November 6, with campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond stating that Harris would address the nation later in the day. 

Background of the Planned Event

Howard University, Harris’s alma mater, was set to host her election night event, marking a historic moment as she aimed to become the first graduate of a historically Black college or university (HBCU) to win the presidency. The university had prepared extensively for the occasion, transitioning classes to remote learning on November 4 and cancelling them on November 5 to facilitate the event. 

Reasons for the Cancellation

While specific details surrounding the cancellation remain undisclosed, it is speculated that unforeseen developments in the election results or security concerns may have influenced the decision. Campaign officials have assured that Harris will address the nation later in the day, though the exact time and location have yet to be confirmed.

Reactions from the Howard University Community

The Howard University community, which had eagerly anticipated hosting Harris, expressed disappointment over the cancellation. Students and faculty had viewed the event as a significant milestone, celebrating Harris’s deep connection to the institution and her historic candidacy. Despite the change in plans, the university community remains supportive of Harris’s campaign and her commitment to public service.
