Liberal tears after Harris loss conjures up memories of 2016 Clinton defeat

Tears shed at Vice President Kamala Harris' election night event caused déjà vu for some Americans.  

"That is not the sound of a big crowd, that is not a celebratory mood," CNN's Audie Cornish said before Dana Bash bluntly compared it to the scene of Clinton's memorable Javits Center event of 2016. 

Clinton wanted to shatter the proverbial "glass ceiling," so she planned her election night party inside a building with an actual glass ceiling. But instead of a celebration, the event turned into a teary-eyed gathering of upset liberals. 

Eight years later, it was much of the same in Washington, D.C., when Harris failed to address supporters at her would-be alma mater victory party.

"At publishing time, due to media rumors that Hillary Clinton is considering another White House run while Chelsea Clinton is being groomed for a future in politics, the NWS spokesman was predicting 'no end in sight' to the downpours," the Babylon Bee joked.

Outside the Harris victory party, which never turned celebratory, a disappointed attendee left an American flag on the ground as they headed home.

Harris plans to finally address the nation at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday at Howard University. A senior aide for Harris told Fox News that the vice president called Trump on Wednesday to congratulate him on winning the 2024 race prior to her speech.
