Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden notched the first presidential endorsement from El Nuevo Día, the largest circulated Puerto Rican newspaper, as he courts Latino voters ahead of the election.
The former vice president's campaign announced the endorsement early Sunday, pointing to a newly published editorial from the newspaper, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
The editorial, titled "Joe Biden's plan for Puerto Rico," initially accuses the Trump administration of having "shown an overwhelming amount of inattention, disdain and prejudice against our people."
"President Trump charged at the dignity of Puerto Ricans, to the extreme of throwing paper towel rolls when he visited the island while our people still suffered the worst horrors of the hurricane's aftermath. He has suggested exchanging our island for Greenland, as if both were merchandise and we had little value," the editorial states.
