Ricky Martin
, 48, does not deny that his candidate for the presidential election is
Joe Biden
;
This was reaffirmed again during an interview he recently gave on the podcast called 'The Big Ticke' which is produced by 'Variety' and 'iHeart'.
During his participation, the Puerto Rican singer explained the reason why he supports the Democratic candidate, "I have always supported Biden. I think he is the only option we have and he is great and he has been in politics all his life. This is the moment. We all need to come together and speak out loud about the course of this nation. "
The artist mentioned that he fears a possible re-election of President
Donald Trump
, because he does not represent the best interests of him and his family.
"I am a Latino, gay and married to an Arab who lives in Trump's America. We checked all the boxes," said Ricky Martin.

Martin has been married to the artist
Jwan Yosef
since 2017. The Puerto Rican has four children: twins
Matteo
and
Valentino
, and
Lucía
and
Renn
.
Last September, Ricky was present at a Joe Biden rally where he mentioned the benefits that the country would have if the Democrat wins the election, "We have the opportunity to elect a president who will rebuild America, a president who will be an honor to call commander in chief".
However, despite his efforts to call on Latinos to support Biden's candidacy, there are still many who are with Trump, so in the podcast he said he felt "very sad", adding, "Trump supporters do a lot noise. And it's scary to see their enthusiasm, but we are doing the right thing, in the right way and we'll see what happens in November. I'm very optimistic. "
The singer also downplayed the fact that the governor of Puerto Rico, Wanda Vázquez, supports the Republican's candidacy and mentioned that what fills him the most is that many people are voting early.
"I think when you already have 50 million people voting, it is because we are not the only ones concerned about this and I am extremely happy," and finally Martin mentioned, "We took it one day at a time and we had plans like leaving the country, but no We have to stay here and we have to fight for our rights and what we believe in. "
On September 16, Ricky Martin shared a lengthy message in which he mentioned that, with the Democratic candidate in the White House, his native Puerto Rico would benefit, "Biden will make sure that Puerto Rico receives federal funds for reconstruction by the disasters that are urgently needed to support long-term recovery ", this in relation to the damages that Hurricanes Irma and María caused on the island in 2017.
