Turnout becomes crucial focus for Chicago voters as Trump rally sparks backlash

In the final week of the 2024 election, voter turnout is crucial in Chicago. A recent Trump rally featured a comedian who made offensive jokes about Puerto Rico, prompting local Puerto Rican voters to consider supporting Kamala Harris instead. Trump did not apologize for the remarks, calling the rally a "love fest." Some supporters believe the comedian's comments will not significantly impact the election, while Democrats aim to mobilize voters in swing states. Both parties are focused on increasing turnout. Latino politicians are particularly concerned about engaging Puerto Rican voters, recalling past negative treatment from Trump after Hurricane Maria. Trump is scheduled to hold a campaign event in Pennsylvania, home to many Puerto Ricans.
