Donald Trump has a serious Puerto Rico problem â 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 stateâs Latino voters, particularly nearly 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 Trumpâs 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 cityâs Puerto Rican neighborhood.âItâs spreading like wildfire through the community,â said Norberto Dominguez, a precinct captain with the local Democratic party in Allentown, who noted his own family is half Republican and half Democratic voters.âItâs not the smartest thing to do, to insult people â a large group of voters here in a swing state â and then go to their home asking for votes,â Dominguez said.The timing couldnât be worse for Trump. Almost a week before Election Day, heâs pushing to cut into Harrisâ margins among Latinos, especially young men who are worried about the economy. But the comments from pro-Trump comedian Tony Hinchcliffe Sunday night, referring to Puerto Rico as a âfloating island of garbage,â has reverberated throughout Pennsylvania and elsewhere, prompting even the former presidentâs Republican allies to defend the island and denounce the comments. And with the race essentially a toss up, every vote counts â especially in Pennsylvania.âThis was just like a gift from the gods,â said Victor Martinez, an Allentown resident who owns the Spanish language radio station La Mega, noting some Puerto Rican voters in the area have been on the fence about voting at all.

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her ânastyâ after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.âYou know whoâs nasty to me? Michelle Obama,â Trump told supporters in Atlanta.âI always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of â a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldnât be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,â he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning âDonald Trumpâs gross incompetence.ââI hope that youâll forgive me if Iâm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamalaâs answers from interviews that he doesnât even have the courage to do, yâall,â she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nationâs capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open â whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, âI am staying in the fight.âShe is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Bidenâs running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.âShe doesnât have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,â said one former Harris campaign aide. âThe natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.ââShe doesnât have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,â said one former Harris campaign aide. âThe natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.âHarris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, sheâs set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future presidentâs inauguration on Jan. 20.âThere will be a desire to hear her voice, and there wonât be a vacuum for long,â a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether theyâll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
