In a heartfelt endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris, hip-hop legend Fat Joe urged undecided voters to support the Biden-Harris ticket in the upcoming election, highlighting Harris’ pivotal role in supporting Puerto Rico’s recovery and boosting Latino employment.
In his endorsement, Fat Joe spoke about Harris’ efforts to aid Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, contrasting her actions with those of former President Donald Trump. He said, “[Trump] blocked the aid to Puerto Rico’s recovery. Kamala Harris went out there and helped the people, bringing over 5 million Latino jobs.” Fat Joe’s comments emphasize Harris’ personal involvement in helping the island’s recovery and providing economic opportunities for the Latino community.
Fat Joe, known for his activism as much as his music, added a powerful call to action: “So I’m asking you, if you’re undecided, to go out there tomorrow and vote for Kamala Harris because I trust her to help our communities.” His endorsement comes as Latino voters have become an increasingly influential demographic in key battleground states, including Florida and Pennsylvania, which will play a significant role in determining the outcome of the election.
The rapper’s support adds to a growing movement among Black and Latino leaders who see Harris as a champion of their causes. With her ongoing work to address economic inequality and expand job opportunities for minority communities, Fat Joe’s endorsement emphasizes Harris’ commitment to the underserved.
