Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA publicly endorsed former president Donald Trump during a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on Friday. Known for his popularity within the Latino community and boasting over 37 million Instagram followers, Anuel AA joined Trump on stage, declaring him “the best president the world and this country has seen.” His endorsement was met with enthusiastic applause, visibly impressing Trump.
Anuel AA, a prominent figure in Latin music, has collaborated with top artists such as Shakira, Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, and Karol G, whom he dated until 2021. His endorsement comes as Trump seeks to expand his support among nonwhite voters, particularly the Latino community, which constitutes 19.5% of the US population according to the 2020 census.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has been actively engaging with influential Latino groups to garner support among young Latino voters. The Democratic campaign has historically used music by Latin artists, including a 2020 digital ad featuring a song by Bad Bunny, to connect with Latino audiences.
