Jennifer Lopez To Give New Speech at Kamala Harris Rally in Las Vegas This Week
Global superstar and multi-talented performer Jennifer Lopez is set to speak at Vice President Kamala Harris’s rally in Las Vegas this week following her recent endorsement of Harris.
Lopez, of Puerto Rican descent, has proudly embraced her heritage throughout her career. Her decision to speak at Harris’s rally follows inflammatory remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a recent Donald Trump rally, where he referred to Puerto Rico as “a floating island of garbage,” sparking outrage within the Puerto Rican community.
After the rally, Lopez took to Instagram to voice her support for Vice President’s plan to advocate for the Puerto Rican community. The singer shared a clip from her iconic 2019 Super Bowl performance of “Let’s Get Loud,” in which she proudly displayed a large Puerto Rican flag, and encouraged fans to vote in the caption.
“LET’S GET LOUD, Make your voice heard in ONE WEEK, VOTE Nov 5, Born in the USA PUERTO RICO” The singer wrote in her caption.
The star has been a strong supporter of Vice President Harris, initially announcing her endorsement during an event with Oprah. Known for her advocacy on voting rights, she also serves as a co-chair for the When We All Vote initiative, which provides voting resources and information nationwide.
Marc Anthony, Lopez’s ex-husband and a celebrated figure in the Puerto Rican community, also voiced his support for Vice President Harris in a campaign video. Reflecting on the challenges Puerto Rico faced, he noted Trump’s actions, such as blocking relief funds and making disparaging comments.
“Trump blocked billions in relief while thousands died. I remember when our families lacked clean water and electricity, Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico ‘dirty and poor.” Anthony stated in the video.
Bad Bunny, a frequent Lopez collaborator and global icon, also took to Instagram to post an 8-minute video celebrating the resilience of the Puerto Rican people, following the recent comments made at the Trump rally.
