Just outside Royce Hall, students deliberated on a potential second Trump presidency. Nicolas Rabadi, a second-year business economics student, said he feels changes in leadership in the House of Representatives, Senate and White House are a good thing. “

After four years … I think it’s good to switch it up for each term,” Rabadi said. “It allows people to express themselves, vote for what they want.”

Aidan Ochs, a first-year business and economics student, said that although not pleased with the election’s trajectory, believes such an outcome should be respected, as it’s what people voted for.

“I realise at the end of the day, 50% of the country are happy, so good for them,” he said.
