Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA endorses Donald Trump at Pennsylvania rally

Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA publicly endorsed former President Donald Trump at a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on Friday. The endorsement came as Anuel AA, a prominent figure in the Latin music scene, joined Trump on stage, declaring, "The best president the world and this country has seen, his name is President Trump," to thunderous applause from the crowd and an approving nod from Trump.

Anuel AA, who has collaborated with major artists like Shakira, Daddy Yankee, and Bad Bunny, is well-known among Latino audiences. His endorsement is seen as a strategic move by Trump, who is seeking to broaden his appeal among nonwhite voters, including the Latino community, which comprises 19.5% of the U.S. population according to the 2020 census.

This endorsement follows a broader trend of political figures and campaigns engaging with Latino voters through cultural and musical connections. Vice President Kamala Harris has also been working to garner support from Latino groups, focusing on young Latino voters as part of her campaign strategy.
