Impeachment of President Donald Trump was on the minds and in the hopes of nearly 300 people who marched down Water Street for the fourth annual Womxn’s March on Jan. 18. Close on the activists’ heels came Trump’s own supporters: around 15 people carrying American flags and signs supporting the re-election of the current president.

As Trump supporters lined up on the sidewalks of Water Street, Womxn’s Marchers walked by flashing peace signs, smiling and waving, amplifying only the sounds of their cries: “Hey hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go!” and “Lock him up!”

But moments before the march started, there was a small display of the tension between the two groups. According to the Port Townsend Police Department, a 70-year-old man from the Womxn’s March walked over from the Quimper Mercantile where Trump supporters were gathering. A verbal altercation led to him punching a 73-year-old man in the face.

The incident was only one in a relatively peaceful demonstration by both sides.

This was the fourth year that protesters in Port Townsend joined in with the National Women’s March movement—the original march was organized in response to the election of Trump, who has a history of making sexist comments and has faced multiple allegations of sexual assault, and was an effort to stand up for the rights of women in particular.

In Port Townsend it was also rebranded as the “Womxn’s Wave,”—the word “women” was spelled with an “x” to show inclusion of all genders.

But many are hoping this will be their last march. The nationwide movement highlighted the impeachment trials and the hope that Trump will be removed from office as its theme this year. Locals echoed that sentiment, some carrying signs that read, “Don’t want to do this again next year… Vote dammit!”

From the first day of Trump’s presidency, activists with the Women’s March movement have called for impeachment. Four years and four marches later, articles of impeachment were submitted to the U.S. Senate last week. The trial process began Jan. 21.

Beyond supporting impeachment, marchers came out on Saturday to encourage people to vote in the upcoming presidential election, in which a Democratic candidate will try to oust Trump.

Upcoming presidential election

In Washington State, the presidential primary election will take place on March 10. Ballots will be sent out in February. All are eligible to vote in the primary.

On May 3, the 24th legislative district for the Democratic Party, which is the party organization for the Olympic Peninsula, will hold a sub-caucus on the same day as the county Democratic convention, where supporters of each presidential candidate will meet to elect state delegates and alternates. This year is a bit different, according to Bruce Cowan, chair of district: delegates will be allocated according to the outcome of the primary election instead of turnout at precinct caucuses. The location of the sub-caucus on May 3 is still to be determined.

The elected delegates will participate at the state convention to choose national delegates in May and June. Finally, the National Democratic Convention will take place July 13-16 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where national delegates will nominate the Democratic presidential candidate.

Supporters of Democratic candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were both present at the Womxn’s March on Saturday.

Republican caucuses

The Republican Party will also hold caucuses for the upcoming election season. There will be five grouped caucuses in Port Townsend on Feb. 29 at 10 a.m., as well as in Kala Point, Chimacum, Port Hadlock, Port Ludlow, Quilcene, Brinnon, Gardiner, Forks and others. Locations are still to be determined.

The purpose of the caucuses will be to elect delegates to go to the county Republican convention, which will be held on March 14. At the county convention, state delegates will be elected to go to the state convention, who will go on to choose national delegates. The Republican National Convention will take place Aug. 24-27 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The presidential election will take place on Nov. 3.
