The polls have closed, and the results of the 2024 general election are in.
While the results in Fairfax County and elsewhere won’t be certified for days, unofficial returns indicate that Republican nominee Donald Trump will once again be president of the United States, defeating Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris in a high-stakes race that will shape the country’s direction on issues from abortion and immigration to climate change, health care and, according to many voters, the very future of democracy.
With voting over, how are you feeling about the outcome of this year’s presidential election? Are you more optimistic or pessimistic about the future than you were yesterday?
