Harris’s 2018 memoir, The Truths We Hold, opens with a scene from election night 2016, when California chose her as the state’s next senator as Trump won a shock election against Hillary Clinton.
Harris was at dinner with her family as they awaited the results. During the meal, she said Doug let out a “signature groan,” leaned over and showed her his phone. The New York Times’ probability meter shows Trump with a strong chance of winning.
By the time she arrived at her own election night party, Trump had been declared the victor. Harris said she tossed aside a draft of her acceptance speech.
Instead she told the crowd: “Do we retreat or do we fight? I say we fight.”
It’s impossible to know what Harris will say in her speech. After America returned Trump to power, we will see if Harris still thinks the answer is to fight.
