Trump Wins 2024 Election; Protests Erupt Nationwide Over Immigration Policies

Nov 9, 2024, 08:13 PM

Donald Trump has won the 2024 presidential election, defeating incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, winning every swing state and the popular vote. The election results have sparked widespread protests across the United States, with thousands of immigrants and other demonstrators taking to the streets in New York City and other major cities. Protesters are voicing opposition to Trump's policies on illegal immigration and chanting slogans like "Donald Trump's got to go," with banners proclaiming "We won't back down." Some commentators are describing these protests as "dangerously close to an insurrection." Reports indicate that only just over half of Harris voters accept Trump as the legitimate president. The Trump administration is reportedly considering deploying the military to remove illegal immigrants from the country. Meanwhile, anticipation is growing over potential appointments in Trump's new administration, with expectations that Floridians and other key allies will fill significant roles. Trump has been quiet on social media since his victory, focusing on planning his administration.
