The Latin superstar endorsed Kamala Harris on Sunday following a controversial speech that insulted the island territory at Donald Trump’s rally.
Vice President Kamala Harris received a major endorsement on Sunday evening when Latin music sensation Bad Bunny reposted her video about Puerto Rico on his Instagram Story.
Bad Bunny – the stage name for Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio – posted a segment of Harris’ video that discussed Puerto Rico’s stake in the election. The hitmaker has over 45 million followers on the social media platform and has sold millions of albums.
“I will never forget what Donald Trump did and what he did not do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and competent leader”, Harris said in the video.
The Trump administration impeded a federal probe examining the delayed release of $20 billion in Hurricane Maria aid to Puerto Rico, according to an April 2021 oversight report.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Inspector General found that officials created unusual bureaucratic obstacles between HUD and the Office of Management and Budget, significantly slowing the distribution of Congress-approved disaster relief.
