WATCH: Thousands of Americans oppose Trump victory
Updated | By AFP, ECR Newswatch
Protesters opposing Donald Trump's Presidency have taken to the streets of major American cities including Boston, Washington, D.C, Chicago and Los Angeles.
This comes as America's next head of state won the race to the White House with 290 electoral college votes while the opposition, Clinton earned 218.
Protesters gathered with signs reading "Dump Trump" outside Trump's residence in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. Police say they had arrested 15 people since been arrested. They've also gathered in front of the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Workers' rights group, Jobs with Justice's Ethan Miller said the Washington vigil was meant to show that civil society was resilient.
"It's a hard time for a lot of Americans," he said. "We saw a campaign that was filled with racism and misogyny and whole host of other terrible tactics that ultimately were successful for winning the electoral college."
Trump will head to the White House for talks with President Obama on securing a smooth transition of power of the Presidency, and both houses in Congress.
