November 5, 2025
Protesters at an anti-Trump demonstration in Washington, D.C., were re-energized following significant Democratic victories in elections this week. Thousands of demonstrators gathered near the Washington Monument on Wednesday, marking the first large anti-Trump protest since the elections. Democrats won key races, including governorships in Virginia and New Jersey, and a favorable redistricting measure in California. Protesters, organized by groups like Refuse Fascism, felt these wins signaled resistance against perceived presidential overreach. Despite the victories, activists urged continued vigilance. They emphasized the importance of ongoing action, especially with upcoming midterm elections.
