Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Día endorsed Vice President Harris on Tuesday amid a commotion over a comedian insulting the island at former President Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday.
The endorsement is the paper’s second ever, following the daily’s backing of President Biden ahead of the 2020 election. In an editorial explaining the decision to support Harris, the newspaper’s editorial board was harshly critical of Trump and cautiously optimistic about Harris.
“One week before the 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,” wrote editor María Luisa Ferré Rangel. Ferré went on with a scathing rebuke of Trump’s behavior and its potential consequences.
“Trump suffers from psychopathic elements that he evidences by lying repeatedly. He has no moral compass and believes that the rules do not apply to him. These are traits typical of those people who qualify as malignant narcissists. Trump is one of the worst. With these emotionally hollow characteristics, the only thing important to that type of person is themselves. This is evident in his distortion of reality. To Trump, no one is better than he is. Only he exists. We are facing one of the most critical moments, not only in the history of the United States, but of the world.”
