Obama criticizes comic's Puerto Rico remarks at Trump's rally

Virginia has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to lift an injunction against enforcement of an executive order that would result in the removal of 1,600 alleged noncitizens from the voter rolls just one week before Election Day.

The lower court said Virginia's action violates the National Voting Rights Act's "quiet period" clause, which bars states from systemically removing voters 90 days before an election.

The state argues that the court violated the "Purcell" principle of interfering with a state electoral process too close to an election.

The injunction will "irreparably injure Virginia’s sovereignty, confuse her voters, overload her election machinery and administrators, and likely lead noncitizens to think they are permitted to vote, a criminal offence that will cancel the franchise of eligible voters," the state writes.

The court has asked for a response from the Justice Department and voter groups by 3 p.m. Tuesday.

Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican artist and one of the world's biggest music stars, posted support for Harris on his Instagram after racist comments about Puerto Rico were made by a speaker at Trump's rally on Sunday.

He posted a video of Harris discussing what's at stake for Puerto Rican voters as she rolled out a "new Puerto Rico Opportunity Economy Task Force."

"I will never forget what Donald Trump did and what he did not do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and a competent leader. He abandoned the island, tried to block aid after back to back devastating hurricanes, and offered nothing more than paper towels and insults," Harris said in the video, referring to Hurricane Maria in 2017.

Bad Bunny reposted the message to his 45 million followers.

Jennifer Lopez posted the same video from Harris to her own account, which boasts 250 million followers.

Ricky Martin encouraged his followers to vote for Harris as he responded to a clip of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage." Martin wrote, "esto es lo que piensan de nosotros" or "this is what they think of us."

In an interview with CBS News anchor Norah O'Donnell, Harris said her first 100 days in office should she win the election would be focused on lowering costs for American families, including her proposals on housing, small businesses and the Child Tax Credit.

"A priority in equal form is going to be what we need to do to deal with reproductive health care and reinstate the freedoms and the rights that all people should have and women should have over their own body, and then dealing with immigration, in particular, border security and bringing back up that bipartisan bill that Donald Trump killed so we can get more resources down to the border," she added.

But when asked how she'd navigate a potentially divided Congress, Harris only said she believed Congress would "work across the table" on issues plaguing most Americans.

"These are not partisan issues. Democrats, Republicans, independents deal with these issues equally, and actually don't think of think of them through the lens of the party with which they're registered to vote," she said. "So that means working across the aisle."
