Noted Puerto Rican actors and Latino canvassers in Pennsylvania are working to mobilize Hispanic voters, particularly those of Puerto Rican descent, who have historically low voter turnout. With more than half of eligible Latino voters in the state being of Puerto Rican descent, their turnout could be decisive in the upcoming election. Efforts to engage Puerto Rican voters include rallies, door-knocking campaigns, and appeals from prominent figures like actress Liza Colón-Zayas and actor Anthony Ramos, urging them to vote for Democratic candidates like Vice President Kamala Harris.
Republicans, including the Trump campaign, are also making efforts to attract Puerto Rican voters, emphasizing unity and pro-Trump messages. However, Democrats are working to engage Latino voters on key policy issues like jobs, the economy, immigration, and abortion to ensure they turn out to vote in the upcoming election. Latino voters in Pennsylvania have historically leaned towards the Democratic Party, but their turnout is crucial in a swing state like Pennsylvania, where the margin of victory can be very close.
By emphasizing the importance of Puerto Rican voices and sharing personal immigration stories, canvassers are working to mobilize Latino voters and ensure their voices are heard in the upcoming election. Engaging Puerto Rican voters could be crucial in determining the outcome of the election in Pennsylvania and could potentially shape the political landscape in the state.
