Trump got early wins in key swing states to win his second term in the White House.

He is expected to make sweeping changes to taxes, immigration, and civil rights, and more.

“I’m scared. Honestly. I’m scared of what Donald Trump is going to do,” Nadine Hughey said.

The Jacksonville Community Action Committee held the Thursday evening protest on Thursday.

“This was my first time voting in a presidential election and I’m disappointed with the outcome. I’m disappointed with the way some Americans voted,” Emily Hughey said at the protest. “I’m disappointed with women for the way they voted. We want to show our support for women, especially black women. This election was a tragedy.”

There was one Trump supporter at the protest, proudly displaying his Trump flag.

“Protesting Trump for what? What did he do,” the man who said his name was Bill said.

The protestors did not solely focus on the future of the Trump administration. Vice President Kamala Harris was also called out by other speakers about her support of Israel.
