Bad Bunny Endorses Kamala Harris and Shares PR Campaign Video

Vaseline October 27, 2024

Bad Bunny supports Kamala Harris’ plans for Puerto Rico. On Sunday, the reggaeton star shared a video in which the vice president outlined her agenda to build an “opportunity economy” for the island. A source close to Bad Bunny confirmed this Rolling stone that he supports her candidacy for president.

Bad Bunny posted Harris’ video to his Instagram Story three times, specifically cutting the part of the video where Harris decried Donald Trump’s approach to the island during his presidency. “I will never forget what Donald Trump did and what he didn’t do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and competent leader,” she says in the clip shared by Bad Bunny. ‘He left the island. He tried to block aid after successive devastating hurricanes, offering nothing but paper towels and insults.”

Bad Bunny’s repost came just hours after Harris shared her agenda to rebuild Puerto Rico’s economy. In the video, Harris pledged to lower the cost of housing, invest in small businesses and strengthen the island’s health care system. Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin, both Puerto Rican, also shared the Harris video.

Harris also pledged to create a Puerto Rico Opportunity Economy Task Force, which would have the government work with the private sector and nonprofits to “promote economic growth and create thousands of new, good-paying jobs.”

“I know that Puerto Rico’s economic future depends on the urgent reconstruction and modernization of the island’s energy grid,” Harris said in the video. “That’s why I will cut red tape to ensure disaster recovery funds are used quickly and effectively, and work with leaders across the island to ensure all Puerto Ricans have access to reliable, affordable electricity.”

There are thousands of Puerto Rican voters in Pennsylvania, one of the crucial battleground states in the 2024 elections. Next week, Harris will also target Latino voters in Arizona and Nevada with rallies on Oct. 31 featuring performances by Mexican bands Los Tigres Del Norte and Mana.

Bad Bunny’s public support of Harris comes a month after fellow Puerto Rican reggaetoneros Anuel AA, Nicky Jam and Justin Quiles endorsed Trump for president, and just minutes after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe described Puerto Rico as a ” island of waste’. in New York.

“I don’t know if you know this,” he said. “But there is literally a floating waste island in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
