Puerto Rico’s largest newspaper, El Nuevo Día, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in an editorial Tuesday, one week out from the presidential election. “Trump‘s erratic and narcissistic behaviors reveal a lack of balance and ability to build agreements and solutions to the serious problems facing the United States, its territories, and the broad group of its allied countries,” editor María Luisa Ferré Rangel wrote, adding that the GOP nominee “has no moral compass and believes that the rules do not apply to him.” The paper credits Harris for having “inclusive discourse [that] ensures solid leadership for the world‘s leading power,” and notes that she has addressed Puerto Rico‘s “pressing emergencies.” The endorsement from the territory’s largest newspaper comes shortly after Puerto Rico was called a “pile of garbage” by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a Trump rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
