Election Day 8:50 p.m.

Josephine Miller, a junior at the University of Oregon and a Kamala Harris supporter, kept one eye on homework and the other on the election Tuesday night, “anxiously tracking each new update.” As news broke that Trump had secured North Carolina, she said, “My heart just sank, and I’m feeling physically ill.”

Miller had been following the election closely, refreshing her screen every few minutes. “I can’t concentrate on anything else,” she said. For her, the idea of another four years with Trump in office is “deeply troubling.”

“I don’t know what’s going to happen if he wins again,” she said. “It feels like everything I care about is on the line right now.”
