Campus community reacts to 2016 election on social media
Republican Donald J. Trump’s stunning victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton on Tuesday in the 2016 presidential election concluded a long, contentious campaign.
Northeastern professor Bill Crotty called Trump’s victory “one of the biggest political upsets in history,” while professor Nick Beauchamp noted “a mystifying failure of polling” in the lead up to Tuesday’s vote.
Here’s a snapshot of how the campus community shared the Election Day on social media.

Even few minutes there's a moment where I realize I basically stopped breathing. Let's all take a few good, deep breaths. #Electionnight
