Vice President Kamala Harris will not be speaking as election night went into Wednesday morning, according to Harris campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond, who took the stage at a Harris watch party at Howard University.

Vice President Kamala Harris will address the nation later Wednesday as votes continue to be counted and Election Day concludes without a winner, her campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond told a thinning crowd gathered at her watch party at Howard University after midnight.

Photos show partygoers thinning out and Harris supporters crying as results continued to come in.

The mood at Howard University had dampened over the last couple of hours. The night started out with music pumping and crowds dancing.

Later on in the evening, muted crowds watched as the results came in, with many glued to the screen.
