Dems Already Rallying Resistance Less Than 24 Hours After Trump Becomes President-Elect

Less than 24 hours after outlets declared former President Donald Trump the president-elect, Democrats online have begun calling on Americans to resist his second term, with ideas ranging from the expected to the extreme.

After Fox News declared Trump the winner in Pennsylvania late Tuesday evening, the outlet and others projected him as the winner of the 2024 presidential race. While Democrats continue to claim Trump poses a threat to democracy, people online are now discussing how to resist his second term.

Democrat Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison took to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Wednesday morning, writing a vague post.

“Never-Trump” conservative Bill Kristol also took to X and asked people to resist the new administration.

Democrat New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a press conference Wednesday morning that she will continue her legal case against Trump despite his election as president on Tuesday.

“We did not expect this result, but we are prepared to respond to this result, and my office has been preparing for several months because we’ve been here before,” James said. “We faced this challenge before, and we used the rule of law to fight back, and we are prepared to fight back once again.”
