“To Vice President Kamala, no matter what they’ve said to bring you down or belittle your run for presidency they can never say you didnt run your race with honesty and integrity!” Cardi elaborated.

“You really put up a fight against all the odds that were already stacked against you! You never accepted defeat as an option which says so much about your strength and about your hear. You really wanted better for ALL of us! This may not mean much but I am so proud of you! No one has ever ade me change my mind and you did! I never thought I would see the day that a woman of color would be running for the President of the United States, but you have shown me, showed my daughters and women across the country that anything is possible. Thank you for being an example, thank you for being empowered, thank you for being a real example of what the American dream should be!”

Throughout the election, actor Wendell Pierce has used his platform to share his thoughts on political issues and society. In his commentary, he encouraged his followers and fans to vote and offered support for Vice President Kamala Harris in her White House campaign with a public endorsement. He shared posts on X throughout election night, noting historical results in the Senate races.

Once former Donald Trump was declared the winner, he shared a lengthy message to VP Harris.

“Madame Vice President you ran a great campaign. In 107 days you introduced yourself to the American people and defined what disqualified your opponent,” wrote the 60-year-old, sharing a picture of Harris early Wednesday shortly after midnight PT (Nov. 6). “May the ancestors give you enlightenment. May God continue to bless you all the days of your life. Thank you for your service,” he closed.

In a post later Wednesday morning he reflected “It is clear political pundits will go out of their way to rationalize the fact that the majority of Americans don’t have a problem with the fact that Donald Trump tried to overthrow the government.

Pierce added, “The majority of Americans did not have a problem with his racist remarks. The majority of Americans accept his xenophobia. The Democrats don’t have to move to the center. They are already there. Tax cuts for the middle class, housing subsidies, jobs, infrastructure, manufacturing. The only thing radical was GOP propaganda. This election wasn’t about the price of milk.”

“It was not a mirage” declared Washington on Wednesday morning (Nov. 6). She continued to write in the caption “Be kind to yourself today. There is more work to do,” sharing posts from the Black Liturgies and We The Urban for her followers to read.

Goldberg’s co-host Sunny Hostin added that she was “profoundly disturbed,” continuing, “I think in 2016 we didn’t know what we would get from a Trump administration. We know now. We know now he will have almost unfettered power. I worry not about myself actually. I don’t worry about my station in life. I worry about the working class. I worry about my mother, a retired teacher. I worry about our elderly and their social security and Medicare. I worry about my children’s future, especially my daughter who has less rights than I had.”
