Trump defends New York rally as lovefest despite backlash over racist comments

Donald Trump defended his recent New York rally, calling it a "lovefest" despite backlash over crude and racist comments made by speakers. He did not apologize for the remarks, which included jokes targeting Puerto Ricans and other groups. Some of Trump's allies expressed concern that the rally could harm his campaign, especially among Latino voters in key states. Trump is set to hold another rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he will be joined by Puerto Rico's shadow U.S. senator. While some Puerto Rican leaders condemned the comments, reactions among voters varied. Some expressed anger and disappointment, while others found humor in the remarks. Trump's campaign continues to focus on issues like immigration and inflation as Election Day approaches.
