Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Tori. Today is Thursday, November 7th, 2024. And we begin with Vice President Kamala Harris, gracious in defeat and gracefully moving on. She called President-elect Trump yesterday afternoon to congratulate him privately and a few hours later made her first public comments from her

would be close and might not be decided for days did not materialize. The win was decisive and the stock market blasted off accordingly.

Emperor penguins live in the cold of Antarctica, so when one turns up thousands of miles away,

in Australia, it's a big deal. Ocean Beach, where it waddled ashore, is more than 2,000 miles north of its icy home.

According to CNN, it's the first time an emperor has been seen so far north.

A researcher at the University of Western Australia told ABC News that the penguin may have

followed a current in search of food, then got caught in it. Local surfer Aaron Fowler says

he was there when the penguin popped out of the water and strolled onto the beach. It tried to do a

slide on his belly, thinking the sand was snow, I guess, face planted, stood up again and shook
