Students react to Trump's election

On Wednesday, Nov. 6, former President Donald Trump was reelected as president of the United States. Students at the University of New Mexico met the news with mixed reactions. Freshman Arykah Melton and chairperson of student organization Powerful Movement of Educated Sistas, said she is saddened and worried by the election results. She said before the election, she believed Vice President Kamala Harris would win and become the first president who is a woman of color. “There wasn’t a doubt in my mind until I started watching the polls,” Melton said.
