Harris supporters in NEPA regroup at Rodano's after election defeat

Reactions to the presidential election results continue to pour in across the country and here in NEPA.

Some are looking forward to another term for President-Elect Trump, while others are upset about a loss for Vice President Kamala Harris.

President Elect Donald Trump has been declared the winner of the presidential election with more than 270 electoral votes and claiming victory in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

"We're going to help our country heal we have a country that needs help and it needs help very badly," President Elect Trump said.

The President Elect in his victory speech on election night expressed his plans to save the country as he puts it and work on issues he believes are plaguing America like immigration and the economy.

Aside from president elect Trump's win, the Republican party also won back control of the Senate, while the battle for the House is still undecided with key races still too close to call

"The opportunity before us is to literally turn our country on the right track again. We've got 72% of Americans saying that we're on the wrong track. This is a huge opportunity for America," Senator Bill Haggerty (R-TN) said.

While some see this as an exciting opportunity to move the country forward, others are mourning Vice President Kamala Harris' loss to Trump.

Thursday several canvassers for the Harris-Walz Campaign and members on NEPA Stands Up met at Rodano's in Wilkes-Barre to regroup after the election results.

"You're feeling are absolutely valid and you will feel's levels of despair and you'll go through a roller coaster. But we've been through this before and as long as we stay together and stay motivated I think we'll continue to do great work," Anthony Distler, the movement politics organizer for NEPA Stands Up, said.

With many Harris-Walz supporters at a loss and in fear of losing their rights, Alec Walker-Serrano, a member of NEPA Stands Up says that although Harris losing the election has been a hard pill to swallow they must continue fighting for change.

"We really just want people to know that the fight isn't over. we're still here and we're still organizing and there's still work to be done," Walker-Serrano said.

NEPA Stands Up and Harris-Walz canvassers up say they will continue working to create positive change in Pennsylvania and the country as a whole.
