From Checkpoint, 5:24 pm on 4 November 2024

Puerto Rican's in Philadelphia say comments from a comedian at a Trump rally last week labelling their homeland Island as garbage have energised members of the community to get out and vote. This could spell bad news for Donald Trump as the battle ground swing state of Pennsylvania has a massive Puerto Rican population of close to half a million people. Puerto Ricans who live in the US are citizens and can vote in the election. Corin Dann is in the battleground state of Pennsylvania and sent this report.
