Puerto Rican Celebrities Withdraw Trump Support After Offensive Comments

Nicky Jam and others rally behind Kamala Harris following derogatory remarks about Puerto Rico at a Trump rally.

Reggaeton star Nicky Jam rescinded his endorsement of Donald Trump after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage' at a Trump rally.
High-profile Puerto Rican artists, including Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, and Bad Bunny, have expressed support for Kamala Harris, amplifying her campaign's reach among Latino voters.
The Harris campaign did not anticipate the influx of celebrity endorsements, which have become a significant factor in the tight race, particularly in battleground states like Pennsylvania.
The Trump campaign has attempted to distance itself from Hinchcliffe's remarks, stating they do not reflect the views of the former president or his campaign.
Celebrity endorsements are playing a pivotal role in mobilizing voters, with experts suggesting they can influence voter turnout, especially in close elections.
