Hinchcliffe's joke, referencing pollution and calling Puerto Rico "garbage," drew sharp disapproval from the crowd. Reactions were swift on both sides, as ?ngel Cintr?n, the chair of Puerto Rico's Republican Party, voiced his anger and went as far as saying he would not cast a vote for Trump unless an apology was issued. For his part, Trump distanced himself from the comedian's remarks, claiming he hadn't heard them. With Democrats and several media outlets predicting a backlash among Puerto Rican voters, the island's political landscape was awash in speculation. Analysts anticipated a potential drop in support for Gonz?lez-Col?n, given that Trump's remarks have long been a point of tension among Puerto Rican communities both on the island and in the mainland U.S. Despite these predictions, Gonz?lez-Col?n defied the forecasts with a decisive eight-point lead in her race, underscoring a strong local endorsement of her leadership.
