In 2024, Donald Trump would become President-elect of the United States after winning the 2024 United States presidential election against incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris.
Protests in the United States
editProtesters gathered in San Jose and Berkeley, California to protest both parties.[1][2] An anti-Trump rally was held in downtown Cleveland, Ohio the night after the election for about an hour before protestors disbursed. Other protests were held that night in Chicago, Illinois, New York City, New York, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with protestors outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago filmed chanting "Donald Trump, you fascist clown."[3][4]
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) issued a statement the day after Trumps election indicating that they would continue to fight against Trumps rhetoric and unlawful plans such as the mass deportation plans outlined in Project 2025.[5]
Protests in other countries
editShortly after being declared winner, protests would begin against him. The first protest to occur was Just Stop Oil protesters spraying orange paint on the American Embassy in London.[6]
The Human Rights Watch issued a statement indicating that they were concerned about Trumps second term shortly after he was elected based on his prior rights-abusing record from his first term, and that "Independent institutions and civil society groups, including Human Rights Watch, will need to do all we can to hold him and his administration accountable for abuses."[7]
