Just hours after the 2024 U.S. Federal Election results were made public, Hunter students voiced their reactions to a second Trump administration. The Athenian reported on students’ mixed feelings regarding post-election shock, and gloominess and reflected on whether or not the outcome will affect them as students.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it would affect me as much as a student, but for the whole United States it\u2019s pretty scary for immigrants.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Lenny Arbitman, Freshman, Computer Science<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really care that much because their policies don\u2019t really affect me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Danielle Elter, Junior, Statistics<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the results are shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mithila Pandit, Sophomore, Psychology<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel a little sad about it because I honestly wanted Kamala to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Jazmin Dayana Maraquez, Junior, English Linguistics and Rhetoric<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI go to Hunter under TAP (Tuition Assistance Program) so if I don’t have TAP I can’t graduate or continue college.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Tyesha Watson, Freshman, Social Work<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that he\u2019s a convicted felon [and] was allowed to be up there and run again is not even constitutional. I\u2019m sick of seeing him in the media and now for him to be our president again \u2013 I just don\u2019t see any good coming from it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joshua Nunez, 21, Sophomore, Undecided Major.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cDisappointed. I feel like we already went through Trump\u2019s presidency once. Whether you’re a Democrat or a part of the Republican party, we saw how that ended up so I feel like having something new just would’ve been better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
