it might have looked bad as if she was a sore loser

Honestly, not being a sore loser is what ended her political career. She got nothing out of conceding quickly, especially because Biden and Harris both painted a Trump presidency as a cataclysm for democracy.

If Trump is so bad (spoiler alert: he is), then you can’t just throw in the towel because CBS projects Trump to win Florida. You ultimately become complicit in his victory. And that’s really hard to forgive.
