During the announcement of Trump&#8217;s victory \u200din North Carolina during the 2024 elections, the building illuminated red, indicating Republican success. \u2064This triggered\u2062 a backlash \u200damong some liberals, who expressed dismay and \u2063anger on social media, claiming that such displays celebrated\u2062 the erosion of democracy. \u200cFollowing another Trump victory in\u2063 Georgia, the building again lit up red, further aggravating those who perceived it as an affront to their values.
