	Singer Marc Anthony makes a forceful endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign in a new ad in which he reminds Latin voters of former President Donald Trump’s scornful treatment of Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria in 2017, and his past negative statements about Hispanics.

	“Even though some have forgotten, I remember what it was like when Donald Trump was president,” Anthony, who was born and raised in New York but is of Puerto Rican descent, says in the ad, recalling Trump tossing paper towels to Puerto Ricans whose homes had been devastated by the hurricane, and his comments during the 2016 campaign when he called to some Mexican immigrants “criminals” and “rapists.”

	He also reminded viewers of the Trump administration’s policy of separating thousands of families, particularly young children, who crossed the southern border illegally.

	“This election goes way beyond political parties. Let’s remember what the United States represents and stands for: United. Regardless of where we’re from,” Anthony says. “I am Marc Anthony and I remember. That’s why I support Kamala Harris for president.”

	Despite Trump’s statements about people of Hispanic descent, he is showing unexpectedly strong support in the community. A New York Times/Siena College poll of Hispanic voters published last weekend showed that 56 percent said they would vote for Harris, while 37 percent said they would vote for Trump.  According to the Nation, Exit polls in 2020 showed President Biden won 65 percent of Latino voters, compared to 32 percent who voted for Trump.
