Vice President Kamala Harris will never win any awards for inspiring oratory, but credit where due — it’s a good thing that she accepted the results of the election, and that she called President-elect Donald Trump and assured him that she would do her part to ensure a peaceful transfer of power.
These used to be routine things in politics unworthy of mention, but in 2016, we had an immediate effort to try to delegitimize Trump’s victory by claiming he colluded with Russia to steal the election. And then of course we had Trump’s disgraceful refusal to admit defeat in 2020 that culminated with the Capitol riot.
