Yeah, she did. So after a comedian at last weekend's Trump event called Puerto Rico a, quote, floating island of garbage, that just has been mobilizing Puerto Rican voters. And Democrats have really been seizing on that. And that's been a real focus for the Harris campaign. She had celebrities like rapper Fat Joe with her yesterday. Here's what he said in Allentown.

And as Danielle pointed out, I mean, there are more than 500,000 Latino voters in the state of Pennsylvania, most of them with ties to Puerto Rico. So people at this Allentown rally had huge Puerto Rican flags. And then after that, you know, Harris drove for an hour to make it to this stop at a cafe called Old San Juan Cafe in Redding, like you mentioned.

And, you know, on the last day of her campaign, you're running up against the clock. The fact that she drove an hour to get there, that says a lot. So, you know, zooming out a little bit here, it's definitely notable that Harris spent her final day campaigning just in Pennsylvania. This is a state that has 19 electoral votes. A majority of voters there don't vote until Election Day itself.

So this is a huge battleground state and one where the vote is going to be really, really close. Right. And because of that, every voter group is critical to turnout.

Yeah, I would describe it as, you know, the event sort of building in size and scale over the course of the day. Harris started at a canvas kickoff in Scranton that had about 200 supporters. There was a big homemade banner there to help get out the vote. Then she went to that Allentown event. Then that stop in Reading and ended the day with these really big rallies in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

That one at the Rocky Steps, like you mentioned, had 30,000 people. And Harris kept her message to voters pretty brief. She wants them to vote. She wants them to tell people that they know to go out and vote. But I will say one thing that was different here was that she didn't really talk about Trump at all at any of her events. She mentioned him briefly, sort of referring to him as the other guy.

But that was really it. Really, for her, it was emphasizing this final message about who she is, her story, you know, growing up, going to civil rights protests. And she's been wrapping up her rally saying that her campaign is not just about being against something and that she wants to be a president for all Americans.
