Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris has been defeated in the US presidential election. Republican candidate Donald Trump has won by a large margin. Kamal's election workers, supporters and party leaders have gone into hiding after the news of Trump's victory. In this situation, former President Barack Obama gave an emotional status on social media.

Obama posted the status on his verified Facebook page on Thursday (November 7). The status is presented for the convenience of the readers-

'Millions of Americans have cast their ballots over the past few weeks and on Election Day; Not just for the president, but for the election of leaders at every level. Now the results are coming. We want to congratulate President Trump and Senator Vance on their victories.

Obviously, we did not expect such a result. We have deep disagreements with Republicans on many issues. But living in a democracy means that our views will not always win; Accepting that and being willing to accept a peaceful transfer of power.

Michelle Obama and I couldn't be more proud that Vice President Harris and Governor Walz didn't pull off a victory. But two extraordinary civil servants. Who ran a great campaign. We will always be grateful to our staff and volunteers; Those who truly believed their heart and soul chose Kamala.

As I said during the campaign, America has been through a lot in the last few years. Among them is a historical pandemic and inflation. Apart from this, the rapid changes in the world, the feelings of many people, the contemporary situations have created a headache for the democratic authorities around the world. But last night we showed that America is not immune to these things.

The good news is that these problems are solvable. If we listen to each other and if we adhere to basic constitutional principles and democratic norms; Which made this country great

In a country as large and diverse as ours, we cannot always keep an eye on everything. But progress requires us to extend good faith and compassion. Even to those with whom we profoundly disagree. This is how we have come this far and this is how we will continue to build a country that is fairer, more equitable, more free from discrimination and more free.
