“It was a terrible night for women, for children, for thousands of hard-working immigrants living in this country,” she commented, listing those she fears will be affected by Trump’s policies. .

In January, Donald Trump became president and that’s it; He won. “That doesn’t mean we give up, but it also doesn’t mean we storm the Capitol because we don’t like the outcome.”
He concluded by considering the potential long-term impact of the election. “Maybe we’ll look back and realize that in the long run, this was the wake-up call we needed. “Maybe the people who care so much about him need to find out how little he cares about them.”
