"I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party... to defeat Donald Trump... And together, we will win."

"This is a race Democrats can and must win."

"If the Democrats can be unified... then they have a good chance to win in November."

"I’d be very wary and a bit cautious on assuming that Trump is just going to sail to victory."

"Donald Trump’s hopes of claiming the White House just went from near certain to extremely uncertain" now Biden has dropped out.

"This kind of chaos this close to Election Day means Trump is going to win."

"It doesn’t matter whom the Democrats pick... Donald Trump will win in November."

"Donald Trump is now the de facto president."

"If the 2024 presidential election is a race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris then Trump will win, every time, and most likely win easily."

"Harris will be easier to beat than Joe Biden would have been."

Who Will Win the 2024 US Presidential Election?

After Sunday's Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Archbishop Roberto O. Gonzalez Nieves of San Juan, Puerto Rico, urged former President Donald Trump to personally apologize for the controversial remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.

Hinchcliffe described the US island territory as a "floating island of garbage." "I appreciate a good joke; however, humor has its limits," the Archbishop stated in a social media shared letter. "It should not insult or undermine the dignity and sacredness of people."

BBC News

Hinchcliffe's comments included slurs about Black Americans, Latinos, and Jews, which many found racist and offensive. Angel CintrÃ3n, the chairman of Puerto Rico's Republican Party, stated Monday that he would not support Trump unless he apologized for his insults.

An extended Puerto Rico debate could hurt Trump. Puerto Ricans, despite being American citizens, do not have the right to vote for president. But 5.8M Puerto Ricans in US states can vote. Almost 1M Puerto Ricans live in presidential swing states, and a majority tend to favor the Democratic Party.
