Several Puerto Rican celebrities have expressed their support for Kamala Harris after a speaker at a Donald Trump rally in New York referred to the Caribbean territory as 'a floating island of garbage.' In response to this comment, figures like Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Ricky Martin have voiced their support for the Democratic candidate.
In a campaign video shared by Harris, the lack of attention and leadership from Trump towards Puerto Rico during critical times is highlighted. In light of this, Harris urges people to vote for her. Bad Bunny, with a large following on Instagram, shared this message in his stories, adding his voice to the cause.
Jennifer Lopez also joined in showing her support for Harris in posts through her Instagram stories, detailing the candidate's agenda for the island. With millions of followers on social media, these prominent figures have drawn attention to the importance of the upcoming elections and the situation in Puerto Rico.
Ricky Martin, another recognized Puerto Rican artist, shared Harris's campaign video and referred to the derogatory comment made at Trump's rally. His social media post has contributed to the conversation about the treatment of Puerto Rico and the role of political leaders in the recovery of the island after natural disasters like hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017.
