John Leguizamo says Harris should look beyond Taylor Swift for Latino vote, Internet calls it 'nonsense'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: John Leguizamo believes that Kamala Harris requires more than just Taylor Swift's endorsement to secure a victory against Donald Trump this November.
The comedian recently appeared on 'TMZ Live' and discussed how the vice president could garner support from Latino voters, suggesting that an endorsement from a major Latino celebrity like Bad Bunny or America Ferrera could be crucial.

John Leguizamo expressed, "Taylor is a huge star in America, but Bad Bunny is even bigger ... at least on the world stage," adding that Bad Bunny's popularity with the Latino community could sway a lot of younger Latino voters to support Kamala Harris if he were to endorse her.
The 64-year-old noted that Donald Trump's popularity is soaring among Latino voters, before pointing out how Harris' polling within the demographic was down from Joe Biden's in 2020. He mentioned, "Kamala's polling numbers in this key demographic are down," highlighting the need for her to connect with this vital voting bloc.
In addition to his political insights, Leguizamo discussed his new PBS documentary series, 'Voces American Historia: The Untold History of Latinos', and expressed hopes that it will make a significant impact in educational settings.
He said, "I hope the documentary will be hugely impactful in schools," reflecting his commitment to educating others about Latino contributions to American history.
The three-part series is scheduled to premiere on September 27.
