My former student from PR told me to not assume PR would vote Dem. Many are catholic and socially conservative. And most of the intellectual and entrepreneurial minded have all left the island - so primarily what’s left behind are MAGA material.
That may well be true, but I think that whether it ultimately would vote GOP or Dem it's still going to take several decades for it to become a state as white MAGA Republicans will never in their current form agree to make it a state for racist reasons alone. It will take decades for it to ultimately become a state, even if it does vote Republican when it does (assuming that there are still Republicans and Democrats around in a half-century or so, which right now is a big if. Hell, the USA in its current form likely won't exist if things keep developing as they are).
 

I suspect that the next three years will play the same pivotal role on building left leaning politicians and political coalitions as the late 1960s/early 70s did. For better and for worse, those coalitions have remained in power for the last half century. We will see what the impact of the rise of new blood has moving forward.
