Thousands of Protesters March in NYC Over President-Elect Donald Trump’s Win: ‘Donald Trump Has Got To Go’
SUMMARY
On Saturday, thousands of protesters took to the streets of New York City in opposition to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. The demonstrators chanted slogans such as “Hey hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go” and carried banners like “We Won’t Back Down.” Some protestors focused on immigration issues, with signs calling for the protection of families and support for migrant rights. Others held banners stating, “This world doesn’t belong to the 1%” and “Protect our freedoms, families, futures.” The protests followed Trump’s win over Vice President Kamala Harris, securing 301 electoral votes. In response, Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt emphasized that Trump would prioritize mass deportations, launching the largest operation to remove undocumented immigrants from the country on his first day in office, a stance backed by a majority of Americans according to recent polls.
