Swan, who has staunchly oppose president-elect Donald Trump for years, did not change his position on Wednesday morning.

“The election of Donald Trump threatens the hard-won rights of marginalized communities. Under his leadership, we risk seeing setbacks for black Americans, immigrants, women, and the disabled as he empowers policies rooted in bigotry and exclusion,” he wrote on X.

“Trump’s presidency will embolden white supremacy, putting Black communities in danger. Hate crimes spiked during his first term, and history shows us these attacks are only likely to increase as he pushes division,” he continued. “America should prepare for a rollback of civil rights gains. Trump’s administration has a history of dismantling protections, and we’re likely to see more attempts to undermine the Voting Rights Act, affordable healthcare, and social safety nets.”
