Democrats intensify efforts to increase voter turnout among Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania

Democrats in Pennsylvania are making a strong effort to mobilize Latino voters, particularly those of Puerto Rican descent. These voters are seen as a key demographic that could swing the election in the battleground state, given their historical low voter turnout and potential to be decisive in a close race. Noted Puerto Rican actors, including Liza Colón-Zayas and Anthony Ramos, have spoken out in support of Democratic candidates and urged their fellow Puerto Ricans to vote. In Lancaster, hundreds of canvassers have been engaging with low propensity voters, including recent immigrants, to encourage them to participate in the democratic process. The Trump campaign has also tried to appeal to Puerto Rican voters, but the overall trend in Pennsylvania has been a Democratic leaning among Latino voters. With recent elections being decided by slim margins, engaging Latino voters, particularly Puerto Ricans, is crucial for Democrats to secure victory in the state. As Puerto Rican voters in Pennsylvania show signs of increasing political influence, there is a strong push to ensure their voices are heard and their turnout is maximized in the upcoming elections.
