Vice President Kamala Harris has conceded defeat in the United States of America’s presidential election to Donald Trump in a Washington speech.

Mrs Harris, who was bidding to become the first female president, told supporters that she had spoken to Trump and congratulated him.

“Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory.

“While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuelled this campaign,” she said.

Trump was able to regain the White House as the 47th president after securing victories in the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
