Last comment on the US election, for now at least.
Kamala Harris' concession speech drew some major contrasts with the Republicans four years ago. With class and poise, she took the high road, saying, "We must accept the results of this election ... We will engage in a peaceful transfer of power". Imagine Donald Trump saying that!
This was not some pusillanimous capitulation, though. "While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuelled this campaign", she said, possibly setting herself up for another fight (likely not with old man Trump) in four years time.
I don't believe that she performed poorly in the election. I don't believe any other Democrat candidate would have done any better. It just wasn't to be.
