Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, sharing her video titled "I will never forget what Donald Trump did" to his 45 million Instagram followers. The video outlines Harris's agenda to build an 'opportunity economy' for Puerto Rico and criticizes President Donald Trump's 2017 disaster relief response. Bad Bunny's support comes after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made a derogatory remark, referring to Puerto Rico as a 'floating garbage island,' during Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden in New York. Fellow Puerto Rican artists Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin, who have a combined 315 million followers, also shared Harris's message, amplifying her outreach to Puerto Rican voters.
