Intersting…
Donald Trump has heaped all sorts of abuse on the Governor…
He has short changed the Island from Disaster Aid….
Ignored their economy and health…
And Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced does what others have done on the mainland….
Given the guy who is about himself their support….
This is actually be about Florida where those from the Island CAN vote….N oct on the island…
Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez on Tuesday endorsed Donald Trump for reelection, a move that belies the president’s tense relationship with the island and its diaspora — particularly in his must-win state of Florida.
“I ask all the Puerto Ricans who are listening to me to go vote… and evaluate who has represented themselves as someone who thinks about Puerto Ricans and their needs in the most difficult moment: It’s Donald Trump,” Vázquez said in an interview with Telemundo Puerto Rico.
As a Republican, Vázquez’s endorsement isn’t a surprise. But it’s raised eyebrows because of Trump’s strained relationship with Puerto Rico and its leaders over the past three years, stemming from his administration’s handling of Hurricane Maria and subsequent disaster aid.
Last month, however, Trump announced plans to award nearly $13 billion in federal aid to help repair the island’s electrical and education infrastructure — a sharp reversal after Trump’s repeated comments about not wanting to provide more aid.
The governor’s endorsement is designed to help Trump court the Latino communities that he increasingly needs to win the battleground state of Florida…
