Queens residents voiced their reactions on Wednesday to a second Donald Trump presidency, a day after the former president won a tightly contested race against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Major media outlets declared Trump the victor early Wednesday morning after he was projected to carry key battleground states, including Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. For the first time, Trump is also anticipated to win the popular vote across his three presidential bids.
In Queens County, however, support leaned heavily toward Harris, with 404,126 voters favoring her compared to 248,024 votes for Trump, with more than 97% of ballots counted.
