Vice President Harris admitted defeat in a day, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Vice President Harris called former President Trump on the afternoon of the 6th local time to congratulate him on his election and officially acknowledge his defeat in the presidential election.

In a phone call, Harris emphasized the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and a president for all Americans.

Vice President Harris will deliver a speech at Howard University in Washington, D.C., his alma mater, at 6 a.m. Korean time.

Vice President Harris was scheduled to hold an event with supporters at Howard University last night to watch the vote-counting broadcast, but when the initial results of the vote were not good, she said she was postponing the event and did not show up.

In his speech today, Harris is expected to encourage supporters and call for a politics of official presidential defeat and unity.

Former President Trump, who declared victory early this morning local time at the Palm Beach Convention Center in Florida, where his home is located, has not scheduled anything special so far.

Former President Trump's landslide victory, how do you analyze it locally?

[Reporter]
Unlike polls that said it was a close race until the end, local media are also analyzing former President Trump's landslide victory from various angles.

However, inflation has caused widespread dissatisfaction with the economic situation, and former President Trump's economic pledges, such as protecting the U.S. auto industry and universal tariffs, seem to have greatly affected voters' choices.

Former President Trump also linked the problem of illegal immigration to all social problems, including violent crimes and jobs, and succeeded in rallying supporters with the slogan MAGA, Make America Great Again.

Let's listen to the analysis of the local media's victory or defeat in the presidential election.

[Jason Cabell/Republican Strategist] First of all, the economic situation that surrounds Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' neck. Harris has never separated herself from Biden in any significant policy. But it was inflation and the economy that mattered most to U.S. voters.

On the other hand, Vice President Harris' failure to differentiate herself from President Biden is analyzed to be the biggest cause of his defeat.

It has been criticized for its lack of details, although it has made a pledge to cut taxes to expand the middle class, citing the values and future of democracy.

Crucially, when asked if there was anything to do differently from Biden on a TV show last month, he said there was nothing particularly that came to mind, and former President Trump has played videos of the remarks every time he campaigns, claiming Vice President Harris's incompetence.

During this presidential election, the U.S. people were also hurt a lot by the war of criticism between the two sides. I don't think the task given to former President Trump will be easy in the future.

[Reporter]
As you said, the problem is that the overheated presidential race has intensified division and polarization in the United States.

The illegal immigration issue, which was a key issue in the presidential election, has stoked hatred and hatred, ranging from claims that it is the cause of the lack of cost to recover from the hurricane's devastation, to controversy over "trash."

The confrontational view of gun possession, women's abortion rights, and LGBTQ issues, a long-standing conflict in American society, was also highlighted during the presidential election, dividing American voters into two extremes.

In the end, the presidential election has further encouraged polarization in American society, and it is unclear whether the new president-elect will overcome division and hatred and try to pursue a politics of unity.

What is the schedule for the future from the U.S. presidential election to the inauguration?

[Reporter]
Some places have not yet been counted, but the future process is a formal process.

After Vice President Harris's admission of defeat, the Federal Office of General Affairs provides Trump and Vance, the president-elect of the government, with offices and other necessary things to prepare for the transition.

Once the vote count is finally announced in all states in the United States, the results will be sent to the Federal Assembly on December 25 after confirming the list of electors by state on December 11 and voting by electors on December 17.

The Federal Assembly will certify the results of the electoral vote at a joint meeting of the House and Senate on January 6 next year.

After that, the inauguration of the 47th President Trump on January 20 will be held, ending all procedures for the U.S. presidential election.

So far, I've delivered it from Washington.
