Harris’s campaign announced that she would not speak at her Election Day watch party and instead will wait until Wednesday morning. It comes as the swing states of Georgia and Pennsylvania were won by Trump, with other swing states such as Michigan and Wisconsin leaning toward the former president.

Shortly after the Georgia announcement, Jones argued that Harris supporters, including black women, are “crushed” over how they are “facing rejection” with Harris’s likely loss.
