What was your reaction to the 2024 presidential election results?

“I was disappointed and scared with the results of the election because of what it means for myself and for my loved ones. As a queer woman, I am worried about my rights to my body being stripped away from me, something Trump openly plans to do.”

What was your reaction to the 2024 presidential election results?

“With the last election being as close as it was, I figured that either candidate could win or lose by a small margin. I think the results could have gone either way and I am not surprised at how close the results have been.”

I’m happy with the election. I love America and democracy, and I’m happy that it works every four years so that we don’t have revolutions or dictators. Every four years we the people choose a new leader.”

What was your reaction to the 2024 presidential election results?

“I was not very surprised but I was still pretty upset. I know it was not realistic that a Black woman would be voted president, but I’m still upset we don’t get to see the great work she would have done.”
