U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris arrived in Puerto Rico on Friday for a brief visit aimed at showcasing the federal aid the U.S. territory has received in the aftermath of devastating hurricanes. The trip also included attendance at a Democratic fundraiser as part of a broader effort to engage with Latino voters ahead of the upcoming general elections.
Accompanying Harris on her visit were U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Department of Housing and Urban Development Deputy Secretary Adrianne Todman. The delegation was welcomed by Governor Pedro Pierluisi, a Democrat advocating for Puerto Rico's statehood.
