Harris will not speak as supporters leave the watch party in tears

Vice President Kamala Harris will not speak at the start of election night Wednesday morning, said Harris campaign coordinator Cedric Richmond, who took the stage at a Harris watch party at Howard University.

Vice President Kamala Harris will address the nation later on Wednesday as votes continue to be counted and Election Day ends without a winner, her campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond told an increasingly thin crowd gathering at her watch party after midnight at Howard University.

Photos show partygoers dwindling and Harris supporters crying as results continue to come in.

The mood at Howard University had deteriorated in the last few hours. The night began with blaring music and dancing crowds.

Later in the evening, subdued crowds watched the release of the results, many sitting in front of the screens.

The crowd cheered whenever races were called for Harris and booed whenever states were called for Trump.

Former President Donald Trump reportedly drove to the convention center with his family and senior campaign team.
