Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to her supporters on Tuesday for the first time since her defeat to President-elect Donald Trump.

The Democrats released footage of the call, in which Harris appeared somewhat disheveled. During the call, she thanked her donors and volunteers for their efforts in supporting her campaign.

“I just have to remind you, don’t you ever let anybody take your power from you. You have the same power that you did before November 5, and you have the same purpose that you did. You have the same ability to engage and inspire, so don’t ever let anybody or any circumstances take your power from you,” Harris said.

In her speech, which lasted just under 10 minutes, Harris stated that her campaign’s efforts would leave a lasting impact on politics, despite providing little evidence of tangible success.

“The outcome of this election obviously is not what we wanted. It is not what we worked so hard for. But I am proud of the race we ran, and your role in this was critical. What we did in 107 days was unprecedented,” Harris said. “I know that this is an uncertain time. I’m clear-eyed about that. I know you’re clear-eyed about it, and it feels heavy.”

Lindy Li, a member of the Democratic National Committee’s National Finance Committee, criticized Harris for failing to take responsibility for her campaign’s expenditure of nearly $1.5 billion. Li expressed surprise at the lack of accountability during a donor call, describing the tone as excessively self-congratulatory.

“She actually held two calls, one for her top donors and one for grassroots. I was speaking and texting with fellow attendees in the call, and we were amazed by how self-congratulatory the tone was …. The call was about 20, 30 minutes,” Li told NewsNation.

“I don’t recall anyone taking responsibility for the fact that we spent about $2 billion across the super PAC and the campaign and came up so significantly short. We lost seven swing states,” she added.

During the call, Li stated that Harris was recognized as a “visionary leader.” The DNC official added, “I believe at one moment during the call she was talking about her Thanksgiving recipe. I don’t say this with any malice or anything. I’m just merely conveying what happened. I think I was stunned to hear that, given just the extent and brutality of the loss, and the fact that DNC staffers, two-thirds, at least two-thirds, have been fired summarily, and a lot of them are at a loss as to what to do.”

In conclusion, Li observed that the party lacks direction after the election.

“I’m just frankly stunned that there was no sort of postmortem or an analysis of how we can do better, what sort of lessons were learned. It was really just patting each other on the back, congratulating each other on I’m not sure what, and saying we’ll see you for Christmas,” she said.
