More than 12 hours after President-elect Donald Trump secured 270 electoral votes, he's finally received a concession call from his Democratic rival and Vice President Kamala Harris. It's over.
“President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke by phone earlier today where she congratulated him on his historic victory. President Trump acknowledged Vice President Harris on her strength, professionalism, and tenacity throughout the campaign, and both leaders agreed on the importance of unifying the country," Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung released in a statement.

Harris, who is likely to lose every single swing state on the map, is set to give a concession speech from Howard University Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m.

As the polls closed Tuesday night and Harris underperformed Biden's 2020 numbers, she bailed on her victory party and left supporters to head home without remarks. Just like Hillary in 2016, she abandoned ship.

"It's particularly quiet in their sense of optimism right now"
"This is not looking so good for us"
