Queens leaders vow resistance, brace for ‘daunting battles’ after Trump election win

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards believes that a second Trump presidency will bring “daunting battles” and said Queens will “never back down” from fights for immigrant rights and a woman’s bodily autonomy.

In a statement issued after Donald Trump’s comprehensive victory over Kamala Harris on Tuesday, Richards vowed to push back against any Trump Administration initiatives targeting immigrants and women’s right to choose.
