A Florida county with the largest Puerto Rican community in the U.S. flipped red for Donald Trump for the first time in two decades.
The Trump-Vance ticket received 56.1 percent of the vote in Osceola County, Florida in Tuesday's election. The area just south of Orlando is deeply blue and has a 56 percent Hispanic population with the largest subset being of Puerto Rican descent.
Many Democrats thought Trump would underperform with Hispanic voters – especially Puerto Ricans – after a comedian at his Madison Square Garden rally compared the U.S. territory to a 'floating island of garbage.'

The left did their darnedest to paint Trump with the floating garbage joke.
Didn’t work you a***holes.
You mean to say actual people of Puerto Rican ancestry weree not so offended by that joke, that they would vote for Kamala instead?
But liberal talking heads on cable TV news channels told Puerto Rican people that they were supposed to be offended.
Don’t people listen to the liberal talking heads on cable TV news channels and vote accordingly?
They don’t take voting advice from Mika and Morning Joe?
Didn’t apologize. That’s what the left wants. Worked up to now.
They’re here in America, not their garbage heap, so…
Puerto Rican (and Hispanics in general) do NOT vote as a block the same way blacks do.
Puerto Ricans are American citizens. They want what every other Republican voter wants, Freedom, Liberty, Economic Opportunity, etc.
The LAST thing they want is what the democrats want, communism. /spit
yeah cause most people can take a JOKE..it was the elitists in the media who made a big fuss about it, NO ONE ELSE CARED
Only white liberals with a “Savior Complex” get offended at those things.
The best thing for Puerto Rico would be to bring attention to the serious landfill problem on the island.DJT recently closed a beautiful resort on the island so he knows very well the beauty of the island and culture.Trump will be the best thing for the residents on Puerto Rico.I bet many will return in 10 years.
Have of FR was freaking out too. Idiots.
I am of mostly European descent. If I heard a joke calling Europe a floating toilet, I would not only NOT be offended, I would whole-heartedly agree. The left assumes everyone is as thin-skinned as they are. Morons.
I wonder if any of them are fed up with Disney?
