Puerto Rican Outrage Grows In Pennsylvania
There are a few different dynamics happening in Pennsylvania right now.
Puerto Ricans are growing more outraged as Donald Trump has not apologized for his racist New York rally.

The backlash has morphed into Pennsylvania Puerto Ricans voting, and if they already voted, they are organizing their friends and family to vote for Kamala Harris.
In a state where the presidential election margin is very small, what is happening in Puerto Rican belt of Pennsylvania, which Allentown is the center of is nothing short of a disaster for the Trump campaign.

Trump went to Wisconsin, and did a stunt involving him dressing up like a garbage man and sitting in a garbage truck, as he tried to change the focus to the Republican false claims that Biden called them garbage.
Here is Trump claiming that garbage is the hottest word in politics:
Garbage is the hottest word in politics, just not for the reason that Trump is trying to sell. Trump didn’t apologize to Puerto Rican voters. His campaign hasn’t done anything to try to improve the situation.
