Her speech had a powerful impact on the audience, touching on the need for solidarity and voting, and she identified the upcoming elections as a key moment to defend dignity and respect.
Without singing, Lopez made a strong impression by focusing on her roots and identity, calling herself the proud daughter of Puerto Rican parents. She emphasized the importance of representation and support, especially for those who often face stereotypes and limited opportunities. That personal connection resonated deeply as she shared how her background and resilience matched Harris’ journey and values.
Referring to Hinchcliffe’s remarks, Lopez expressed her outrage and sadness, reminding the audience that “we matter.” She criticized Trump’s divisive rhetoric, positioning Harris as a figure who stands for unity and progress. Celebrities such as Bad Bunny, Ricky Martin and Lin-Manuel Miranda have similarly expressed support for Puerto Rico and rejected anti-Latino sentiment, underscoring Lopez’s message.
In closing, Lopez emphasized her faith in Harris, citing the vice president’s career as one that has consistently championed American ideals of inclusion. Her closing words, “I like it when the good guy, or in this case, the good girl, wins,” reflect her hope for a future led by leaders who uplift, not divide.
