Hundreds arrive at BLM Plaza ahead of results

Hours ahead of election results, drums sounded and prayers went up at the Black Lives Matter Plaza today in preparation for what could be a celebration if Biden wins, according to protesters.

However, many businesses near Pennsylvania Avenue have boarded their doors in fear of civil unrest.聽

On Oct. 29, during a press conference, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser expressed her concerns of protests potentially becoming unruly in the District, and protester Esm猫 Matthews agrees.

鈥淚 voted for Biden, and if Trump wins I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 going to go well it鈥檚 going to be extreme unrest in this city and across the country,鈥 Matthews said.聽

However, optimistic protesters like Estrella Lopez believe it will be the opposite of chaos.

鈥淚鈥檓 here to pray for the White House because I believe in prayer and I think my prayer is going to move mountains and Joe is going to take over the White House,鈥 Lopez said. 鈥淓ven if he doesn鈥檛, something good will still come out of this election.鈥
