Trump plans rally in Allentown to engage Latino voters after backlash over comments

Former President Donald Trump will hold a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, a city with a 55% Hispanic population, following backlash over racist comments made at his recent New York rally. The comments, made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, included derogatory jokes about Puerto Rico. Trump's Allentown rally aims to engage Latino voters, particularly Puerto Ricans, after criticism from various Hispanic groups regarding the New York remarks. Scheduled speaker Marco Rubio will join Trump to help court this demographic. In Pennsylvania, the Latino voter population has significantly increased, with Puerto Ricans making up a notable portion. The state is expected to be a key battleground in the upcoming election, with Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in a tight race.
