i feel hurt. it s a real bad feeling. i thought it was instagram joke. i was heartbroken because i said i don t trust trump. i believe he s the devil and he s not going to do right by minorities. reporter: a clinton campaign concern came true on election night. the great majority of african-americans sported hillary clinton over donald trump, but many of them, not as enthusiastic as they were for barack obama did not come out to vote. mercedes stroud did vote and cast her ballot for clinton, but knows many other african-american clinton supporters who did not go to the polls. those people that didn t vote, that could have been hillary winning. at the university of north carolina, charlotte, others who voted for clinton with similar stories. yes. almost all my family did not vote. reporter: do you wish more to encourage your family and friends who didn t vote. i wish i did more, especially
need to talk to him about these children. we need to tell him that these children are suffering and we need to fix this. thank you so much. thank you, everyone, for hosting us today. some of the concerns by the latino community. we talked about the record latino turnout. it wasn t enough. this is a new reality they are grappling with this morning. thank you, marianna. i want to go to morgan wrathford in charlotte, north carolina. what are you hearing? reporter: ari, there s mixed reaction. we re at a diner. trump took the stage just after 11:00 p.m. last night. it was called. he won 51% of the vote. hillary clinton gaining 47% of the vote. ari, here in north carolina the numbers we re seeing reflecting sort of what we re seeing nationally in terms of demographics. for example, trump polled higher
the reality is that most of america is falls into the categories that he s insulted in this campaign. while apparently many did vote for him, i think that he will find it hard he will find it increasingly hard to govern to win a second presidency without relying, quite frankly, on voter suppression. every trend in our country is against what he represents. this will go down in history, whether it s 10 years from now or 50 years from now as one of the death throws of frankly the old white majority approach to governing in our country. what does it say to you that barack obama s presidency will be followed up by a birder in chief. they re saying other
