Vice President Kamala Harris did not speak as election night turned into Wednesday morning as supporters gathered for what was supposed to be a celebration at her alma mater, Howard University.

Harris will address the nation later Wednesday, her campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond votes told a thinning crowd gathered at her watch party at Howard University after midnight.

Photos show partygoers leaving and Harris supporters crying as results continued to come in that showed her falling behind in key states.

The mood at Howard University had dampened after the evening started out with music pumping and crowds dancing.

As the night wore on, muted crowds watched with eyes glued to screens showing the results.

The crowd cheered anytime races were called for Harris and booed whenever states were called for Trump.
