Demonstrators Rally Against Trump for Second Night, But Crowd Smaller: Reports

ATLANTA, GA — For the second straight night, demonstrators gathered Thursday in downtown Atlanta to protest Donald Trump's election as president, but the crowd was smaller than Wednesday night, according to media reports.

About 150 people protested Trump's victory at the State Capitol, a lower turnout than Wednesday's protest, which attracted around 400. There were no arrests reported Thursday night, and no disruptions in traffic.

Another protest is planned for Friday, according to WSB-TV Channel 2.

Protests continued Thursday in cities and college campuses across the country over the controversial real estate mogul's victory in Tuesday's presidential election. Trump, the Republican candidate, captured the White House by winning 279 electoral votes, defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Thursday night's crowd at the State Capitol included members of the LGBT community and a few from the Black Lives Matter movement, WSB-TV reported.
