Donald Trump has a serious Puerto Rico problem — in Pennsylvania.

Many Puerto Rican voters in the state are furious about racist and demeaning comments delivered at a Trump rally. Some say their dismay is giving Kamala Harris a new opening to win over the state’s Latino voters, particularlynearly half a million Pennsylvanians of Puerto Rican descent.

Evidence of the backlash was immediate on Monday: A nonpartisan Puerto Rican group drafted a letter urging its members to oppose Trump on election day. Other Puerto Rican voters were lighting up WhatsApp chats with reactions to the vulgar display and raising it in morning conversations at their bodegas. Some are planning to protest Trump’s rally Tuesday in Allentown, a majority-Latino city with one of the largest Puerto Rican populations in the state.

And the arena Trump is speaking at is located in the middle of the city’s Puerto Rican neighborhood.

Meaningless. They cannot vote.
There are an estimated half million Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania, not to mention the Latin population who were also insulted, and with Trump’s refusal to even recognize the hate and racism today only aids Harris’s campaign

Before long there will be a Latino majority in the USA. It will signal the end of white Evangelical power and a new political regime will take its place. Maybe the GOP will not even survive the transition.

The MAGAricans (copyright '24) are not phased one bit. I'm watching interviews with Latino trumpkins in Pa. and they are still voting for trump. (not LatinA).

But key is the fact that the few undecided Latino/Latina voters are definitely not voting trump.
