Trump rallies in Pennsylvania city with highest Hispanic population hours before polls open

Just over a week after a comic's joke about Puerto Rico being an "island of garbage" at a Trump rally attracted days of negative media attention, the former president held another rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, an area rich with Latino pride. 

Pennsylvania’s fourth-largest city was historically the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, but has in recent decades become home to the highest proportion of Hispanics in the commonwealth. A 2021 report by the Reading Eagle estimated about two-thirds identify as such.
