Radio host says Trump has lost Puerto Rican votes after controversial joke
Victor Martinez, a Latino radio host, stated it is "too late" for Donald Trump to regain Puerto Rican votes after a controversial joke made at a rally. The joke, which described Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage," drew widespread criticism. Trump's campaign adviser distanced the campaign from the comedian's remarks, but GOP figures condemned them. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris used the opportunity to promote her plan for Puerto Rico during a visit to Pennsylvania, a key battleground state with a significant Puerto Rican population. Martinez noted that many in the Puerto Rican community feel offended and unlikely to support Trump again. He emphasized the pride Puerto Ricans have in their identity and culture, suggesting that the recent comments have damaged Trump's standing with this voter group.
