      Un nuevo anuncio en español de Kamala Harris resalta el insulto a Puerto Rico en un mitin de Trump

      by

      Está dirigido a los votantes latinos del disputado estado de Pensilvania, que tiene una considerable población puertorriqueña.La campaña de la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris publicó el jueves un nuevo anuncio dirigido a ganarse a los votantes puertorriqueños y otros votantes latinos recordándoles que un comediante en un mitin de Trump desdeñó a Puerto Rico calificándola de una “isla de basura”.El anuncio, titulado “Somos más”, está narrado en español por un hombre con acento puertorriqueño que utiliza coloquialismos boricuas. El narrador aborda directamente el comentario de la “isla de basura” que el comediante Tony Hinchcliffe hizo el domingo como parte de un acto de apertura para el expresidente Donald Trump en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York.“No somos basura, somos más”, dice, y añade: “El 5 de noviembre, Trump comprenderá que la basura de unos es el tesoro de otras”.El anuncio forma parte de una compra publicitaria de 370 millones de dólares, según la campaña de Harris. Está dirigido a la población latina del disputado estado de Pensilvania, que tiene una considerable población puertorriqueña.El anuncio se emitirá durante las populares telenovelas de las principales cadenas en español de EE. UU., Univisión y Telemundo, así como en WAPA, una cadena puertorriqueña que emiten muchos proveedores de cable de EE. UU. También aparecerá en plataformas digitales como YouTube, Snapchat y el sitio web de El Nuevo Día, el mayor diario de Puerto Rico, que respaldó públicamente a Harris el martes.Además de presentar a puertorriqueños notables, el anuncio incluye un fragmento de sonido de las protestas callejeras en la isla. El cántico —“Somos más y no tenemos miedo”— fue popular durante el verano de 2019, cuando las protestas masivas provocaron la dimisión del gobernador Ricardo A. Rosselló.Un chat de grupo privado filtrado entre el gobernador Rosselló y sus colaboradores reveló que se habían burlado de los puertorriqueños, utilizando a menudo un lenguaje soez y ofensivo.Patricia Mazzei es la jefa de la corresponsalía en Miami, que cubre Florida y Puerto Rico.

      Por qué la derecha cree que Trump va ganando en las encuestas

      by

      Los sondeos sesgados y los mercados de apuestas anónimas están aumentando las expectativas de los republicanos. Donald Trump podría utilizar esto para impugnar el resultado.El torrente de encuestas empezó a llegar hace unas semanas, una tras otra, la mayoría mostrando una victoria de Donald Trump.Destacaban entre los cientos de otras encuestas que indicaban un empate en las elecciones presidenciales. Pero tenían algo en común: habían sido encargadas por grupos de derecha con un gran interés en promover la fuerza republicana.Estas encuestas han tenido un impacto marginal, si es que han tenido alguno, en los promedios de las encuestas, que o bien no incluyen las encuestas partidistas o les dan poca importancia. Sin embargo, hay quien sostiene que el verdadero propósito de las encuestas partidistas, junto con otras métricas que fijan expectativas, como los mercados de apuestas políticas, está dirigido a un objetivo totalmente distinto: construir una narrativa de impulso imparable para Trump.Las encuestas partidistas parecen centradas en elevar el entusiasmo republicano antes de las elecciones y —lo que quizá sea más importante— en cimentar la idea de que la única forma de que Trump pierda frente a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris es que las elecciones estén amañadas. Las encuestas que prometen una victoria republicana, según esta teoría, podrían considerarse evidencias de fraude si esa victoria no se produce.“Está claro que los republicanos están colocando estratégicamente las encuestas en el entorno informativo para intentar crear la percepción de que Trump es más fuerte”, dijo Joshua Dyck, quien dirige el Centro de Opinión Pública de la Universidad de Massachusetts en Lowell. “Su incentivo no es necesariamente acertar la respuesta”.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Those Voters Who Are Still Undecided

      by

      More from our inbox:Michelle Obama’s Plea to American MenAn Ex-N.F.L. Player, on Marijuana ReformBipartisan Action Needed to Support Our Children Rob VargasTo the Editor:Re “These Voters Aren’t Exactly Undecided. They’re Cringing,” by Megan K. Stack (Opinion guest essay, Oct. 20):I am struck by undecided voters who are still, at this point, paralyzed by the feeling that neither of the candidates are “good” options, or that they don’t “like” either choice.To those struggling to vote outside their party affiliation, or to vote at all: The cognitive dissonance you feel is uncomfortable, yes, but consider who benefits most from the resulting inaction. It’s not the voter, it’s individuals and groups who use political power and tribalism for their own gain.This election is not a sporting event, it is real life, and we owe it to ourselves and to each other to use our hard-won right to vote thoughtfully, no matter how uncomfortable it is.Natasha Thapar-OlmosLos AngelesThe writer is a licensed psychologist and a professor at Pepperdine University.To the Editor:Re “Battle Is Fierce for Sliver of Pie: Undecided Votes” (front page, Oct. 22):Women can save our country, and I believe they will. They know what is at stake — not only free choice regarding their bodies but also a democracy that celebrates the diversity of its citizens.As the online summary said of the undecided voters: “Both campaigns are digging through troves of data to find these crucial Americans. They both think many are younger, Black or Latino. The Harris team is also eyeing white, college-educated women.”We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Harris Tries to Distance Herself and Move On From Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Remark

      by

      Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday tried to separate herself from President Biden after he made muddled remarks that appeared to call supporters of former President Donald J. Trump “garbage.”“Let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,” Ms. Harris told reporters as she prepared to board Air Force Two outside Washington, D.C., although she said Mr. Biden had “clarified his comments.”Ms. Harris has been pressed to distance herself more broadly from Mr. Biden, an unpopular incumbent who is also her boss, putting her in a difficult position. Her campaign has resisted having them appear together on the trail. Mr. Biden is seen as an undisciplined communicator, and his comments on Tuesday undercut a speech Ms. Harris delivered that same night in which she made unity a major theme.Her response on Wednesday — quickly pivoting to her campaign trail schedule and her plans for the economy — made it clear that she and her campaign would like to move on from Mr. Biden’s comments. The Trump campaign has made equally clear its intention to keep the remarks in the news cycle.On Sunday, Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian and Trump supporter who spoke at the Trump rally in New York, had made a joke onstage that disparaged Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” Mr. Biden tried to denounce that racist language in a video call with Hispanic supporters on Tuesday night. But he garbled his words, saying: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”The White House and Mr. Biden later argued that he was describing the racist language as “garbage,” not Trump supporters.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      In Election’s Final Days, Dark Money and ‘Gray Money’ Fund Hidden Agendas

      by

      Big-money operatives are taking advantage of lax rules at the end of the campaign to hide the true source of their money until after the election is called — or for forever.The campaign literature that landed in Republican mailboxes in North Carolina this week was jarring. On one side was a sonogram image of a human fetus, with this message: “Her heart is beating. We all know it. Only the courageous few will protect her.” On the other side was a call to action: “You have the courage and the conviction to vote for Randall Terry.”But the mailer did not come from supporters of Mr. Terry, a third-party presidential candidate and longtime leader in the anti-abortion movement.Rather, the fine print showed it was the work of a nascent super PAC with the anodyne name of Civic Truth Action that was funded by millions of dollars in difficult-to-trace money linked to Democrats trying to elect Vice President Kamala Harris as the next president.The final days of a high-stakes election are often a time of political mischief. The message pushed by Civic Truth Action — purportedly to help Mr. Terry but aimed at siphoning votes from former President Donald J. Trump — may be among the most cynical. But it is far from unique. Across the country, supporters of Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump are taking advantage of a patchwork of lax laws that allow partisans to funnel millions of dollars through daisy chains of opaque entities into hard-hitting campaign tactics, all to try to sway the tiny slice of swing-state voters who could make the difference.Campaign operatives and donors have long deployed creative accounting to mask the flow of money into politics. But in the decade and a half since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision paved the way for unlimited spending on political advertising, it has become particularly difficult to follow the big-money flow in the weeks before Election Day, despite the majority opinion’s assertions that “prompt disclosure” of political spending would enable voters “to make informed decisions.”“Now it’s sort of undeniable that the court was wrong with those predictions,” said Ian Vandewalker, a lawyer at the Brennan Center for Justice, a progressive nonprofit that works to reduce the influence of big money in politics. Mr. Vandewalker published an analysis this week of the increase in difficult-to-trace funding to super PACs. “The ability to hide funding for those types of things is attractive for people who want to engage in dirty tricks,” he said in an interview.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Biden Appears to Insult Trump Supporters as ‘Garbage,’ but Quickly Tries to Clarify

      by

      President Biden on Tuesday denounced racist language at former President Donald J. Trump’s recent rally but appeared to insult Trump supporters as “garbage,” prompting waves of criticism from Republicans.The White House quickly objected to that interpretation of the president’s remarks, arguing that he was instead describing the racist language as “garbage,” not Trump supporters.The comments came as Mr. Biden was addressing Latino supporters by video. “Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage,’” Mr. Biden said, referring to a riff by Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian and Trump supporter who spoke at the rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.Mr. Biden said Puerto Ricans are “good, decent honorable people.” Then he went on: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”The White House released a transcript that showed Mr. Biden was saying “his supporter’s” demonization, meaning that Mr. Hinchcliffe’s demonization was garbage.But Republicans seized on the seeming gaffe, comparing it to a comment by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she referred to Trump supporters as “deplorables.”We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
