NBC News: The atmosphere at Harris's fundraiser was like a "funeral"

According to NBC News, at a gathering of major donors for Harris held in a Washington hotel, one Democrat likened the atmosphere to a "funeral". An official from Harris's campaign team simply summed up this sentiment: "Not so good." At the start of the evening, Harris's campaign officials expressed confidence, saying they believed that Harris would win. Once the results came out, their mood noticeably softened and became almost gloomy. On Tuesday night, Jane O'Malley Dillon, chairwoman of Harris's campaign said that Democratic candidates still have a chance to win in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania - blue wall states where it was still neck-and-neck at midnight on the East Coast. "Pray for miracles," said one former Biden campaign aide. "All hope is on the blue wall."
