Harris Campaign Targets Puerto Rican Voters Amid Controversy

Vice President Kamala Harris has launched a new ad campaign responding to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's derogatory comment about Puerto Rico, calling it a 'floating island of garbage' at a Trump rally. The ad juxtaposes Hinchliffe's remarks with Trump's past failures in addressing the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, highlighting Harris's commitment to supporting Puerto Rican families. The campaign aims to resonate with Latino voters in battleground states like Pennsylvania, emphasizing that they deserve better than what Trump offered during his presidency. Amidst widespread backlash from Latino communities and political figures, the Trump campaign has distanced itself from Hinchliffe's comments, stating they do not reflect their views. Harris's ad is set to run across multiple platforms aimed at mobilizing support among Latino voters, particularly in areas with significant Puerto Rican populations. The controversy has reignited discussions about the treatment of Puerto Rico and the implications of such derogatory language in politics.
