Many held up cellphones and appeared to be recording history as Harris told them she had lost her race against Trump. When Harris took the stage at her alma mater, she saw a sea of America flags and serious faces.

The audience booed after she said she had congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his victory. Some men in the crowd looked dejected as they listened while one group of women smiled in support.
