Puerto Rico, a US territory, is “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean,” declared Tony Hinchcliffe, instantly triggering a lively controversy.
The New York metropolitan area has more than a million inhabitants of Puerto Rican origin and Pennsylvania, a crucial state for the presidential election on November 5, has half a million.
“This joke does not reflect the opinion of the president” Trump, said one of his spokespeople, seeking to limit possible losses in this electorate.
In contrast, Kamala Harris immediately capitalized on the controversy, promising in a video to “chart a new and happy path forward” for Puerto Rico.
Several stars born on the island, such as reggaeton prince Bad Bunny and singer Ricky Martin, have shown their support for Kamala Harris on Instagram.

The octogenarian described as “totally inappropriate” the initiative of billionaire Elon Musk who, in order to support Donald Trump, offers a million dollars each day to a voter drawn at random in a key state, on the condition that they sign a petition defending Republican ideas.
At the national level, the polls still give neck and neck to Kamala Harris, who would become the first black female president of the United States, and Donald Trump, candidate for the third time for the White House, which he left in chaos in 2021.
Illustrating the ambient tensions, two metal ballot boxes, containing hundreds of ballots deposited early, were the target of arson attacks Kamala Harris gave an interview with CBS on Monday in which she said she was willing to take a cognitive assessment, calling on her 78-year-old rival to “take the same” test.
