During a virtual 'Voto Latino' get out the vote call, President Joe Biden delivered sharp criticism towards former President Donald Trump's campaign and those who support him. Biden accused Trump of lacking character and not caring about the Latino community, labeling him as a failed businessman who only prioritizes his billionaire friends.
Biden specifically addressed the derogatory remarks made towards Puerto Ricans at a recent Trump campaign rally, where one speaker referred to Puerto Rico as a 'floating island of garbage.' These comments have sparked outrage among many, particularly Puerto Ricans, and Biden condemned the demonization of Latinos as unconscionable and un-American.
Highlighting the urgency of the upcoming election, Biden emphasized the need to vote to ensure the safety and well-being of all people, especially minorities in the country. He described Trump as a 'true danger' and stressed the importance of electing Kamala Harris as president and Tim Walz as Vice President.
In his closing remarks, Biden urged all participants on the call to vote early and support Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing the critical role of the Latino vote in shaping the future of the United States. He encouraged unity and reminded everyone of the country's capacity to overcome challenges together.
