They chanted anti-Donald Trump slogans. They flooded city streets. They gathered near the White House, disheartened and dismayed. "Not my President, not today," many across the nation yelled.
In cities from Boston to Los Angeles, thousands of demonstrators gathered Wednesday night in protest of election results that mean the billionaire real estate developer will be the next president.
As many as 5,000 people were at a protest in New York, police estimated.
Among the issues being yelled about outside Trump Tower were immigration and other controversial topics from the campaign.
Many of the protests were in cities with large Democratic bases -- in Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Boston; Chicago; Denver; Philadelphia; Portland, Oregon; San Francisco, Seattle and Washington.
In Chicago, people walked down a normally busy Lake Shore Drive carrying signs. Many headed to Upper Wacker Drive, where a crowd was growing near the Trump Tower
In Portland, marchers chanted "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA" as they trekked through downtown.
Protesters in D.C., who headed to the Trump International Hotel, shouted the same slogan.
