Vice-President Kamala Harris has reportedly broken her silence after picking up the phone and calling President-Elect Donald Trump.
The call is monumental for the Democratic nominee as it officially meant she has conceded to losing to the Republican - who is set to become the US' 47th president.

According to CBC News, 'the vice-president has emphasised the peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans', citing a senior official close to Harris.
Harris is expected to address the public when she delivers remarks at Howard University later today.
It comes as Trump just took swing state Michigan to add to his already impressive collection of key battlegrounds that he has already taken - in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, and notably taking four of the five electoral votes in the hotly-contested state of Nebraska.
Before the election, it was billed to be one of the closest races in presidential history, but the 78-year-old is on track to steal every single one - as he's leading in the two remaining swing states, Nevada and Arizona.
While only 270 electoral votes were needed to move into the White House and take charge of the Oval Office on January 20, 2025, when President Joe Biden's four-year term will come to an end, Trump currently sits on 291 - with Harris on 222.
It will be Trump's second term in charge, after being voted out at the last election, having only began his political career with the Republican party nine years ago.
Unlike Harris, who called Trump to congratulate him on the election win, Trump was rather less elegant and graceful when he found out he lost to President Biden - who is the oldest president in US history, although at the end of Trump's four years in power he'll be even older.

Yes, we all remember how bitterly Trump took it when he lost against Biden in 2020 - he threw his toys out the pram and cried foul play, inciting the Capitol riots that pursued on January 6.
An inquiry later ruled that Trump's tweet, posted at 01.42 local time on December 19, 2020, caused the aggression in the US capital.
His tweet read: "Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election. Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild."
But with Harris losing, it means the US will have to wait even longer before a woman runs the Oval Office.
