My Puerto Rican Friend Voted for Trump

Joe Camerota
Nov 9, 2024

I have a buddy named Nic who lives in the Lower East Side of New York City. He was born and raised in affordable housing in that area.

He’s a Puerto Rican man who constantly brags about the Puerto Rican community of the Lower East Side, of which he and his ancestors are long representatives.

Yesterday, when I saw him, I asked him who he voted for. And he sheepishly told me, Trump.

I couldn’t believe it and asked him why.

He said, “I work as a waiter, and I like Trump’s ‘No Tax on Tips’.”

I think, especially in this election, that people are single-issue voters.

That issue is their wallet.

That’s why Trump won. People believe he truly is more concerned about their wallets being fat than Kamala was.
