A survey by the Puerto Rico Research Hub at the University of Central Florida showed on Saturday that a significant majority of Puerto Ricans in the state (8 in 10) support Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the White House. The figure follows the now infamous controversial remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, when he referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage."
The findings are the most recent example of the fallout from the comment, which has sparked criticism across the aisle with Trump himself summarizing the incident as "one comedian telling one little joke."
