The organization turned into a wake.

Although many students, activists and supporters of Harris inactive seemed to believe in her victory, pessimistic sentiments prevailed. any people left their heads depressed.
Even after the announcement of Trump's triumph in Georgia and his lead in North Carolina, run leaders Harris tried to convince the sympathizers that he inactive had a chance to win thanks to voices from the alleged "blue wall" – Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. During this time, participants of the event, mainly students of a historically African-American college, danced to energy music, although any had already begun to tame themselves with the thought of defeat.
They can't believe it.
An election evening in Washington began in an atmosphere of optimism and hope for victory, but with the influx of results from Georgia, North Carolina, and key states of "red streak"—where Harris gained support lower than Joe Biden in 2020—the temper gradually began to deteriorate.
Some participants expressed their discontent.
I can't feel anything. “The assistant of 1 of the Democratic congressmen stated in a conversation with PAP, asked about his feelings at a time erstwhile Trump seemed only somewhat superior.
One of the volunteers couldn't hide her surprise:
I can see that there's actually no chance, but I can't accept it. How can more than half the country want this man back?
