Puerto Rican celebrities Bad Bunny and J. Lo have taken a stand against Donald Trump’s recent comments mocking their home country. After a comedian at Trump’s Sunday rally in Florida made disparaging remarks about Puerto Rico, the two artists have publicly shown their support for Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Bad Bunny, a rapper and Latin trap sensation, took to social media to express his support for Harris and encourage his followers to vote. In a post shared on his Instagram and Twitter accounts, he said, “Puerto Ricans and Hispanics, we have the power to decide who will be the next president. Let’s use our voice and vote for Kamala Harris,” accompanied by the hashtag #BidenHarris2020.

This isn’t the first time Bad Bunny has used his platform to speak out about political issues. Earlier this year, he joined protests in Puerto Rico calling for the resignation of Governor Ricardo Rossello. In his latest music video for the song “Yo Perreo Sola,” he also wore a shirt that read “They killed Alexa, not a man in a skirt,” a reference to the murder of a transgender woman in Puerto Rico.

Similarly, J. Lo, a singer and actress of Puerto Rican descent, has also shown her support for Harris. According to sources close to the Biden campaign, she will be joining Harris at a rally in Miami on Saturday, just four days before the US presidential election. The rally is said to be focused on mobilizing the Latino vote and highlighting the importance of Puerto Rican voters in Florida.

The decision for J. Lo to join Harris comes after a comedian at Trump’s rally made derogatory remarks about Puerto Rico’s financial crisis and hurricane recovery efforts. The island has been hit hard by natural disasters in recent years, including Hurricane Maria in 2017, and is still facing ongoing challenges in its recovery process.

In response to the comedian’s remarks, J. Lo tweeted, “It’s time to vote Puerto Ricans! Our voice matters. Let’s show them what we are made of. See you in the polls,” along with a link to her song “Pa’ Ti” featuring Puerto Rican rapper Maluma.

The support from Bad Bunny and J. Lo for Kamala Harris is significant, as it shows the unity and strength within the Puerto Rican and Latino communities in the face of adversity. It also highlights the importance of the Latino vote in this year’s election.

Both artists have a large following, not just in Puerto Rico and Latin America, but globally as well. The impact of their endorsements and involvement in the presidential campaign cannot be underestimated. It sends a powerful message to their fans and the rest of the world that they stand with Harris and the Democratic party in this crucial election.

Furthermore, their support also sheds light on the crucial issues facing Puerto Rico and the Latino community, such as representation, economic crisis, and natural disasters. Harris, as the first African American and South Asian woman on a major party’s presidential ticket, has continuously emphasized the importance of diversity and inclusion. Her selection as Joe Biden’s running mate has been widely celebrated by minority communities, including the Puerto Rican community.

In a statement, Harris expressed her gratitude for the support from Bad Bunny and J. Lo, saying, “I am honored to have the support of these two incredible artists who not only use their platforms to spread positivity and entertainment but also to raise awareness on important issues affecting our communities.”

As the US presidential election draws near, the involvement of celebrities like Bad Bunny and J. Lo serves as a reminder of the impact and influence they have beyond their artistic talents. It also emphasizes the crucial role of the Latino vote in deciding the outcome of the election.

In the words of Bad Bunny, “Let’s use our power and vote for a president that will listen to us and make a positive change for Puerto Rico and all Latinos.” With the support of influential figures like Bad Bunny and J. Lo, it is evident that the Puerto Rican community is standing strong and united behind Kamala Harris, making their voice heard and their vote count.
