Gen Z voters react with fear, anger and determination after Trump wins 2024 election

Daniela Osorio, 22, recently graduated from the University of Tampa

“I am heartbroken by the election results. Not only because of who got into office, but because I’ve seen people I felt close to vote for someone and align themselves with policies that actively harm the communities in which they and I exist.

“There are so many things that worry me about the Trump administration: access to life-saving healthcare; immigration policies that will separate families and remove existing rights for immigrants, especially being a first-generation American; and protection for LGBTQ+. individuals, especially trans people who are now one of the main targets in this country.”

Diana La Torre, 21, a senior at the University of Miami

“I feel trouble. The results showed that the majority of American citizens do not care about progress and the protection of basic human rights for all. Instead, they prefer to return to times when minority groups were subject to prejudice and hatred. I fear for my future along with the future of those I love.

“I am most concerned about the potential new policies that will limit women’s right to choose, the lives that could be lost due to the lack of gun regulations, and the mass deportation laws that will impact the Latino community — my community . There are many things. about this administration that worries me and, I can’t lie, it feels hopeless.”

“Even though it seems like we’re divided, even though someone may have a different opinion, you can still come together. We can still try not to focus on the hate and still try to come together.”

Ifama Frazier, sophomore at GSU

“It is unbelievable that there is someone who is actively fighting against our basic human rights and it is even more frustrating that he is in office.”

“I don’t love (Trump’s) morals. I don’t really love his personality, but I think he was just the better of two bad candidates. But I really like his policies on the economy, and I like his policies on certain rights, like abortion, that they give to the states instead of just banning it.”
