Column: Rarely do we see the kind of “concession” speech that Cheney delivered tonight. It was, as she had promised, a “road map” to her future plans for denying Trump a return to the White House.
Some grudgingly acknowledge the loss with more than a touch of anger. Stacey Abrams in 2018 condemned the “rotten and rigged” election system, and said flatly: “So let’s be clear, this is not a speech of concession because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that.”
But rarely do we see the kind of “concession” speech that Cheney delivered tonight. It was, as she had promised, a “road map” to her future plans for denying Donald Trump a return to the White House. Far from conceding, Lieberman said that “As I see it, in this campaign we just finished the first half and the Lamont team is ahead. In the second half our team — Team Connecticut — is going to surge forward to victory.” Deploring the dominance of partisan politics, he said: “…Tomorrow we launch a new campaign to unite the people of Connecticut — Team Connecticut — Democrats, Republicans and independents so we can go forward together to solve our most serious problems together.
