Protest groups Stand up 2 Trump and Stand up to Racism are urging supporters to rally outside the the AMerican Embassy tonight in objection to Trump’s projected victory in the 2024 US Election.
The group, which describes itself as “a coalition united in opposing the policies of the us President and his planned visit to Britain”, announced an “emergency protest” at 6pm tonight at the London-based building.
The protest was announced shortly after Trump began a speech at his campaign HQ in Florida in which he declared victory, stating: “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.”
A protest is also planned for Saturday November 9, although details have not been released yet.
Speaking on GB News, Nigel Farage said: “I understand there’s a demonstration planned in London… by a bizarre left-wing organisation called Stand up to Racism, who clearly don’t even like democracy.”
The groups announced the protest on social media, posting a graphic that also includes the logos of Stop the War Coalition, which demands a ceasefire in Gaza and calls for countries to stop arming Israel, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and Abortion Rights.
Trump was joined by JD Vance, UFC Chief Dana White and Elon Musk on the stage where he proclaimed his “magnificent victory for the American people”, forecasting a “golden age” of America.
He began his speech just after Fox News projected that he had won the election, after Trump won in the key battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
Trump also won Iowa by 14 percentage points, which pollster J. Ann Selzer had predicted for Harris at 47-47 percent four days before election day.
Trump is also projected to win Pennsylvania, months after an assassination attempt on him narrowly missed in July, and harkened back to it in his victory speech.
He said: “Many people have told me that God has spared my life for a reason and that reason was to save our country and restore America to greatness and now we are going to fulfil that mission together”.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has announced that she will not speak today, after dejected supporters left her election watch party at Howard University in Washington D.C.

In the lead up to the election, Trump had vowed to stop the war in Ukraine via a settlement with Russia, “finish up” the conflict in Gaza, and impose tariffs on imports into America.
Trump has been congratulated on victory by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said his “historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America”.
Sir Keir Starmer reacted to the impending result, saying “Congratulations president-elect Trump on your historic election victory.
“I look forward to working with you in the years ahead.
“As the closest of allises, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.
Trump surprised pollsters to beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election to become president for the first time, before losing to Joe Biden in 2020, leaving the White House on his final day in office following the infamous January 6th riots where the White House was breached.
There had been fears that Trump would contest a Democrat victory like in 2016, and that Trump could even launch a coup, but it now seems certain that he has won the election and possibly the popular vote.
Trump had denied this, saying: “If I lose an election, if it’s a fair election, I would be the first one to acknowledge it”.
