WATCH: Trump holds campaign rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania

Former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, as the 2024 presidential race hit its final week, while Vice President Kamala Harris made her ‘closing argument’ in a speech in Washington, D.C.

Trump claimed during his rally in Allentown that the Harris campaign had bused people to Washington “because they couldn’t get anybody to show up there tonight.”

The Harris campaign touted that more than 75,000 people had gathered on the National Mall for Harris’ remarks tonight at the same venue where Trump spoke ahead of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Tim Ramos, a former Allentown mayoral candidate, began his remarks by saying: “I’m a Puerto Rican man and I want to start by expressing my love for the island and people of Puerto Rico. … We are a beautiful people from a beautiful island.”

He said Puerto Rican voters are “tired of empty promises, we’re tired of being told how to think, who to vote for,” and are dissatisfied with Biden-Harris economic and border policies. Puerto Rican voters need a leader who understands them, he said, and “Donald Trump is that leader.”

Puerto Rico’s shadow U.S. Sen. Zoraida Buxo also hit the Biden administration’s record on the economy and immigration, and she urged Puerto Rican and Hispanic voters broadly to “stay focused on what is truly important when you go to cast your vote. We need change.”

She added: “It’s easy to get distracted or misled by propaganda, emotional manipulation, and distortion of the truth and facts.”

The territory’s shadow representatives advocate for Puerto Rico but do not vote or hold seats in Washington.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, meanwhile, delivered some of his remarks in Spanish.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, speaking to reporters ahead of the Allentown rally, acknowledged that it “probably, in hindsight, wasn’t a good idea to have an insult comedian speak at a rally.”

But Rubio said the Trump campaign has already distanced itself from Hinchcliffe — and that ultimately it’s not going to matter to Hispanic voters.

“What does that have to do with the cost of living? What does it have to do with the fact that runaway illegal immigration is bringing criminals into our country that are terrorizing Hispanic neighborhoods?” he said. “I get the activists are going to make their noise, but that’s what’s really going to matter here. That’s what we’re going to focus on. Not an insult comedian.”

Outside the arena where Trump will speak in Allentown, Ivet Figueroa, 61, carried a pink sign with a small trash can attached. “Trash Trump” was written on the can, while the sign said: “Nov. 5 is trash day. Let’s put you where you belong!!”

Figueroa, who was born in New York but whose parents came from Puerto Rico, said she was appalled by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments.

“It was devastating. I’m a Puerto Rican. How do you say that my country is trash?” said Figueroa, a clerk.

“It’s not trash,” she said. “It’s a beautiful country. And the person who said it was vetted by him. So that’s what he allowed, so he has to take responsibility for what he said. Now it’s too late for saying sorry. I don’t want an apology, I want justice, and justice is on Nov. 5.”

Figueroa said the joke is “definitely” going to lose Trump votes in Allentown’s Puerto Rican community. She said she knows people who plan to switch their votes to Harris.

“They’re disgusted by it, and they’re going to let him know that Puerto Rico is not a trash country,” she said.
