This would hurt Harris.
Its no different when Hillary insulted Trump supporters on 2016.

But the backlash is pretty astounding.
Maybe because this time he included everybody, not just white people, who are his usual target.
Regardless, I don't think this was another Puddin' Head Joe incident, a "gaffe" spoken while high as a kite on whatever "gravy" they have been pumping him up with. (Look at his pupils in that video)
No, this was an Angry Joe remark, designed to stick one last political shiv in Harris' back.
He's still big mad about being forced out against his will.
We shall see. The question remains which people who weren't planning on voting for Trump or Harris are more motivated by this. The Puerto Ricans who's home was called a floating garbage heap or Trump voters? I think Trump voters were already about as motivated as they can be. In 2020 Biden led Trump by 26 points among Hispanic voters. Prior to the jackass comic, Harris was only leading Trump by 13 points meaning the lead was cut in half. If Trump loses Pennsylvania, this will be why. We shall see what happens. It's crazy that the "October suprise" that may hurt Trump came from his own campaign. Biden certainly took some of the sting out of it with his stupidity. I said back in 2020 that whichever campaign could get their own candidate to shut up would win. But you may be right @Anti Federalist. Certainly Biden's comment, if anything, undercut what was a clear win for Harris. He could have done this on purpose.

Trump was doing historically well among Hispanic voters before Madison Square Garden rally backlash

Donald Trump’s Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City featured numerous instances of speakers making racist or bigoted remarks. Perhaps none more notoriously so than comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s offensive comments about Puerto Rico.
What makes those remarks – which the former president’s campaign has sought to distance itself from – so noteworthy is they come at a time when Trump seems to be making inroads with Hispanic voters. In fact, he seems to be on his way to doing better with this group than any GOP presidential nominee since George W. Bush in 2004.
Consider an average of recent polling data on Hispanic voters: Kamala Harris is ahead of Trump by just 13 points. That’s well off an average of post-election and exit poll data from 2020, when Joe Biden carried Hispanic voters by 26 points.
What’s remarkable is that this 26-point deficit, itself, was an improvement for Trump from 2016. Trump lost Hispanic voters by 39 points to Hillary Clinton, according to an average of exit poll and post-election data.
The polling data and 2020 outcome represent a big reason why the Trump campaign has made a concerted effort to win over more Hispanic voters. It helps to explain why the former president held a massive rally in the heavily Hispanic Bronx earlier this year and visited a barbershop in that same New York City borough this month.
Trump’s improvement with Hispanic voters also helps to explain the current electoral map. Harris’ best path to securing the 270 electoral votes needed to win seems to run through the Great Lakes battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. She has been basically even with Trump in polling of these states, if not running slightly ahead.
Meanwhile, in Arizona and Nevada, two Southwest battlegrounds with larger Hispanic populations, Trump has been doing well.
He has consistently held a margin-of-error advantage in Arizona surveys. In fact, it’s been Trump’s best polling state of any that Biden won in 2020. The polling from Nevada has been limited, but it too has moved more toward the former president than what polling averages indicate in the Great Lakes battleground states.

Both Arizona and Nevada have more Hispanic voters than any of the other five battleground states, which also include Georgia and North Carolina.
Trump has been doing particularly well among Hispanic men, as well as Hispanic voters without a college degree.
Will a rally like Sunday’s make a difference in that support? It’s unclear.
