What is the meaning of your candidate did not secede defeat until this morning?

This word for this is a malapropism--someone has used the wrong word mistakenly for the right one. What the person meant to say was "Your candidate did not concede defeat until this morning." To concede is to admit defeat; your candidate waited until this morning to admit that the other fellow won the election. To secede is to break away from, or to form a splinter group.
