Just read several pieces criticising #Harris for not speaking until the morning after the election. Also pieces rather demanding on finding the culprit for the Dems' desaster and very impatiently so.

I don't think that's good, transparent and democratic behaviour. Just like it's very disrespectful of the election process to 'call' a winner before the ballots are counted - especially when it's not even statistically safe.

Taking this extra night to mourn and get a clear head, taking time to introspect and hopefully understand the disconnect, the strategic and communicative errors is the least that must be done.

Media demanding otherwise are impatient at best. The media landscape has been destructive enough. Interested only in the circus of things rather than the very bleak reality that this election may well be the last free election in the US.
