Original Note:
Puerto Rico voted to become a state in 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Puerto_Rican_status_referendum Resistance at this stage has primarily come from the Republican Party. https://www.salon.com/2020/08/13/mcsally-says-democrats-want-statehood-for-dc-puerto-rico-for-political-advantage/ https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/mitch-mcconnell-puerto-rico-full-bore-socialism/ Efforts aimed at Puerto Rican statehood are organic, and go beyond simply the efforts of the American federal government.
