Protests erupt across USA following Donald Trump’s victory in Presidential polls

Thousands of people marched in various cities across the US, including New York, to protest against Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential polls.

Trump returned to power for his second term by beating his opponent Kamala Harris who joined the presidential race after outgoing President Joe Biden stepped down earlier this year owing to his cognitive decline.

Holding banners in their hands, a large number of demonstrators gathered outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower on 5th Avenue in New York to protest against the President-elect.

In Washington DC, Women’s March participants were seen demonstrating outside the Heritage Foundation.

A similar demonstration against Trump was held in Seattle.

“March and rally to protest Trump and the two-party war machine,” posters for the protests as quoted by The Guardian, adding: “Build the people’s movement and fight war, repression and genocide!”

Republican candidate Donald Trump won Arizona on Saturday, clinching a clean sweep in all seven swing states in the recently concluded US Presidential elections.

He ensured the 11 electoral votes to the Republican column after Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.

Trump’s win over Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris marks the 78-year-old’s second victory in Arizona since 2016.

According to the latest figures, Trump has bagged 312 electoral votes, comfortably crossing the required 270 to occupy the White House.

During his previous win in 2016, he received 304 electoral votes.

Trump has won more than half of the 50 states, including swing states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, all of which voted Democratic in the last election.

He also won the battleground states of North Carolina and Nevada.

As per the last update from various US networks, Harris has managed to win 226 electoral votes after making a wild card entrant in the elections after Joe Biden decided to opt out after stumbling in his debate with Trump.
